The API spec for IProject.setLocation is ambiguous: public void setLocation(IPath location) Sets the local file system location for the described project. If null is specified, the default location is used. Setting the location on a description for a project which already exists has no effect; the new project location is ignored when the description is set on the already existing project. This method is intended for use on descriptions for new projects or for destination projects for copy and move. Observe: From the spec alone, you can't infer whether this maps the root folder for the project to the directory at the given path, or to a child of the directory at the given path. That is, if I setLocation("C:\junk\") for project P and then create P, should I expect to see (a) the files and folders in C:\junk\ show up as files and folder inside project P or should I see (b) the files and folders in C:\junk\P\ show up as files and folder inside project P Expectation: The spec should clarify that it works like (a). NOTES:
Added the following paragraph: * This operation maps the root folder of the project to the exact location * provided. For example, if the location for project named "P" is set * to the path c:\my_plugins\Project1, the file resource at workspace path * /P/index.html would be stored in the local file system at * c:\my_plugins\Project1\index.html.
