The UI for choosing/adding a source folder on the build path is not consistent with the one for selecting a project on the classpath; and I prefer the latter which does always present to me the available items for free. When adding source folders onto a project classpath, I have to explicitly select "Add Existing Folders" in order to pick any from them, where I would like this to be the default.

A good suggestion. We should use a check box table for the source folder tab as well
I'm not really convinced of this suggestion. The difference between the project selection and the source folder selection is that the set of projects is fixed, where as for folders you can add new entries. The second difference is that also subfolders can be added. So when presented in a list, the list would contain a flatted list of all possible paths folders folders/src1 folders/src2 doc doc/api doc/api/topic1 So it seems a tree could help. Checkbox trees are problematic in general: You have to expand a tree to see all entries, the check state of a parent has to reflect the check state of its children. How would you do it?
Or maybe present it to me in the same way as the export wizard which also has some checkboxes. Though here I would not want the parent to be selected as soon as I pick its child.
new build path uses node children for attributes
