Description Dieter Mai CLA 2020-02-01 14:35:24 EST
If a project is in its own folder of a folder of a project, then the project explorer displays this "Project -> folder -> Project" in hierarchical view. As a user i would expect to be able to move the nested project via drug and drop like i can with any other resource but it isn't possible. If the user has a nested project in the wrong folder, the only option i can see is to manually move it to the correct location. 


How to reproduce: (Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTbw-b9Uk5s)
[Preconditions]
[P1] Eclipse is open
[P2] Project Explorer is shown
[P3] Project Explorer setting "Project Presentation" is set to "Hierarchical"

[Actions]
[A1] Create Project "Main"
[A2] Create Folder "AAA" inside project "Main"
[A3] Create Folder "BBB" inside project "Main"
[A4] Create Project "Sub" inside <Path of Main>\AAA\Sub
[A5] Drug and Drop with project "Sub" as source and Folder "BBB" as target.


[Observed]
[O1] [OK] Project "Main" is visible in Project Explorer
[O2] [OK] Folder "AAA" is visible as a sub node of project "Main"
[O3] [OK] Folder "BBB" is visible as a sub node of project "Main"
[O4] [OK] Project "Sub" is visible as a sub node of Folder "AAA"
