Description Ed Willink CLA 2016-10-20 04:33:40 EDT 
I previously reported, Bug 430720, that the Import Projects Combo was unhelpful in that it offered only 4 not recent working sets.

Now, 4.6.0.201609202050, the Combo is greyed out and Select... offers a surprisingly large dialog with no entries.

@Mickael: could you take a look at this, please?
Comment 2 Mickael Istria CLA 2016-10-31 05:12:42 EDT 
It seems to me like a dup of bug 506162.
@Ed: can you please check that? If it's a dup, then a workaround is to use the generic "Resources" working set rather than the typed "Java" ones.

I probably need to fix the bug to demonstrate that it is a duplicate, but the descriptions certainly suggest a very similar problem area.

This hardly seems like a workaround. I already have working sets, there is no working set 'kind' edit capability. Scripts/OOMPH already uses Java working sets.

This may be a dup, but it seems more informative and references a longstanding inadequacy. In particular it answers Bug 506162#c1. So Bug 506162 duplicates this rather than vice-versa.
