Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2009-01-12 05:15:45 EST 
Build ID: 3.5m4

Window > Preferences > Map Project Selection > choose "Always Prompt"
Select a Project
Right-click > Replace With > Released

--> The "Select Mapfile" project allows me to choose from all projects in my
    workspace (which are MANY). It should present only such projects which 
    are valid mapfile projects.

My use-case is that I'm contributing to multiple Eclipse Projects, and I'd like to handle them all in one workspace. Therefore, I need to release into different Mapfile projects frequently, so I'd like the picker to run smoothly.

If it's too hard to find out what a valid mapfile project is, then it would make sense to allow the Preference Page choose from those projects in the workspace that are considered valid. Or, have the picker only pick from "recent" mapfile projects but have a little checkbox for "show all projects".

The last proposal might acutally be the most versatile and simplest to implement.

The patch for bug 316282 introduces a new helper method that can be used to fix this bug.

In addition, I'll replace the tree with a simple list of valid projects.
