Description Marco Descher CLA 2015-10-07 05:15:19 EDT 
I have about 100 projects in my workspace, and already use working sets. I heavily depend on open type and open resource.

What I really miss is the option to add a project itself using "Open Resource" as often I know what project I need, but not a specific class (Open Type) or file (Open Resource) in it.

The bevahviour should be as follows:

 * Hotkey Open Resource
 * start entering project name
 * selecting a project name selects the resp. project root in Package Explorer

A different approach I like on this: http://blog.vogella.com/2012/10/29/improved-jdt-filtered-packageexplorer-for-eclipse-4-2-1/

There's a separate bug report for that.

Committed an implementation for a "Select Project"-Dialog.
This is mostly the same implementation i had for my plugin "ProjectSelect".

Things that are missing:
- Context help. I don't find any context help in the eclipse.platform.ui repository. I dont see where i could commit context help related files.
- Tests. SWTBot tests and haven't checked yet if they work in the new repository.

Let me know what you Think

The jenkins build failed because there are some conflicts. I need to resolve them first.
