Description Victor Sosa CLA 2015-12-15 10:41:03 EST 
In order to properly import files and folders into a project in an Eclipse workbench, it is required to use the datatransfer API. This API currently resides in org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin.

Since the import of these resources is in nature a headless operation, it could be better that this datatransfer API is moved out from org.eclipse.ui.ide, a UI plugin, to different core plugin, perhaps org.eclipse.core.resources is a good place but something more suitable can be accepted.

Not sure if this enhancement is the same as bug 124530
