Description SWT CLA 2016-07-18 09:40:06 EDT
Using some related top-level project names makes the children projects disappear in hierarchical presentation of the project explorer.

Steps to reproduce :
1) Create a project (any kind) named "parent".
2) Create a project named "child" inside the directory used for "parent".
The hierarchical presentation correctly shows "child" inside "parent".
3) Create another top-level project named "parent.other".
The hierarchical presentation doesn't show "child" inside "parent" anymore.

If you rename "parent.other" to something else ("AnotherParent", or "ParentOther" for instance), this solves the problem.
As soon as the name is "parent.something", children projects of the "parent" project disappear.

The same issue appears when naming "parent-other" instead of "parent.other". But "parentother" doesn't cause any issue.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
