Build Identifier: There is an error message dialog with this message "The project description file (.project) for '<project>' is missing. This file contains important information about the project. The project will not function properly until this file is restored." This dialog should give the option to select the .project path. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above.
Updating the .project path from Package Explorer -> right-click -> Import gives the message "Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace".
Happens when you close a project, remove the .project file on the file system, and then open the project in Eclipse, see OpenResourceAction. I don't think an option to select a .project file makes sense -- the .project is what defines a project, and there's no other place where this file could live except for the known location inside the project folder. But what we could do is offer a way to create a dummy .project file. We could also just go and create the dummy .project, like when you delete the .project file in Eclipse and then close the project.

Perhaps leverage the mechanism behind "Open Projects from File System" that allows it to Detect and configure project natures?
