hi, if a project is stored in cvs in a folder called "abc", and the .project-file inside that folder says, that the name is "def", than i'd expect the checked out project to be named "def" and not "abc". instead, the project is always called like the folder, and i have to override it manually.
I suspect that this has always been the case - since 1.0.
the first point is, that the name of the project, and the .project file aren't consistent anymore. The project is named "abc", but the .project file says "def". In addition, names of projects are important, since they are shared among the developers of a team, that share their projects via CVS vor example. Also see Bug 69268.
There is nothing we can do about this from a team/CVS standpoint. I'm moving this to Core. The project name is the .project file is ignored so I suspect it will be marked as WONTFIX. A workaround is to use the synchronize view and perform a Remove from View on the .project file when you check out a project using a different name and aprojetc description change dirties the file. If you perform all your future commits from the synchronize view, they will always exclude the .project.
If you use "Check Out As..." from the CVS Repositories view, you can use whatever name you want for the local project.
