Delete a project. The Delete Resources should show the resource location, 
C:\myproject
especially if [] Delete project contents on disk
is checked. 
It should be possible to copy the resource location into clipboard.
So you can switch to an explorer window and check again the resource.

Reproducible: Always

That's in refactoring code.
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2011-06-30 13:44:13 EDT 
We could do that for resources that are located outside of the workspace. For normal resources, this additional info is rarely necessary and would only bloat the dialog.

If you really need the location, you can copy it from the Properties dialog. But I think the best solution would be bug 107436.
Comment 3 Juergen Weber CLA 2011-07-01 02:18:01 EDT 
[] Delete project contents is such a dangerous operation, there should be the information what you are actually doing. Especially as I have different locations where Eclipse projects are physically located (Clearcase snapshot path, Eclipse workspace itself, downloaded open source projects).

I don't see why adding a path would bloat the dialog.
