[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Automatically add project to workspace

[Andreas Fester <Andreas.Fester@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marie,

thanks for your input; I tried it, but unfortunately the KDE Filemanager 
on Linux does not seem to cooperate with the Eclipse file tree :-(

But: I just tried Eclipse 3.1M6, and found that it has a much better
Projects Import user interface which allows to select more than one
project to import at the same time! So this seems to be a reasonable 
solution.

Of course the best solution would be if the workspace could be
created automatically, and the projects be added automatically;
so if anyone still has other ideas of how to achieve this I am
still interested ...

Best Regards,

        Andreas
