Description Oliver Kopp CLA 2013-05-31 13:21:06 EDT 
Since Windows XP in the Windows explorer, the key sequence CTRL+c, CTRL+v creates a copy of an item in the folder. This is a common UI shortcut.

In Eclipse, the key sequence CTRL+c, CTRL+v raises the box "Copy Problems" as "source and destination are the same". If one clicks the item above the CTRL+c'd one, the box "Name Conflict" appears.

Suggestion: If the same object is selected at CTRL+v in the package explorer, eclipse should behave as if the paste action was triggered at the parent object.

The issue happens only at folders. At files, it works as expected.
