Description David I CLA 2016-11-04 09:56:09 EDT 
I've never used Team Project Sets before, but it looks like it will solve a major problem for my team. I exported a project set on Linux, then tried to import it into a new Eclipse Neon installation on Windows 7. 

When I try to import the .psf file, I get a dialog that says:

The following errors occurred while importing projects. Some projects may not be loaded. 

Under details, I see:

Failed to read project description file from location c:\users\isheedm\git\MyRepoName\.project

(The system cannot find the file specified)

It never cloned the Git repo, so it can't the .project file. I don't understand why it won't clone first. No messages in workspace .metadata/.log file. 

I have a clean install, nothing has ever been pulled from Git yet.

If I import one project into my workspace, then try again, it seems to clone the repos at least.

Correction: It tries to clone the first repo, then stops when it can't find the .project file. We typically don't checking .project files into Git as we've had problems with that before. I would like it to keep going and clone all the repos.
