I'm using build 2001-12-04 with the latest Eclipse UI code loaded. - create a simple project called Test and set the custom location to be d:\temp\t1 (or whatever you want, just do not call it Test) - select the project Test and rename it - once the rename is complete, check the file system, and notice d:\temp\t1 directory is gone. If the project has at least on file/folder in it, the directory is not deleted. When renaming a project with a user defined location, it should not change the directory.
Beside fixing this directory being deleted problem, we need to address the issues with renaming a project will sometimes change the actual directory name and sometimes not. From a user level, it is not obvious to them. Core and UI need to come-up with a proper behavior that the user will expect when renaming.
Fixed in integration build 2002-01-15. Confirmed in Win98. Moving to Platform/UI for comments on second issue, and closure.
We need a consistent user model for renaming projects. It's confusing why default and custom location projects behave differently but yet look the same to the user.
Is this still an issue?
Fix is working as of F1 build for release 2.0
