Yeah, I know. But I was not looking forward to losing all the other 
stuff that is associated with a Project. At least in 2.0, I had trouble, 
for example, if one Project's compile classpath or a launch config's 
runtime classpath was pointing to a Project (or its directories) that 
got deleted, renamed, etc. And the classpath for some of my components 
is pretty long/complicated to set up.

I'm at least back to being able to build all code, so things are looking 
better. Still, I'm surprised such a nasty problem could still exist as 
late as M4 - I lost an entire day trying to get back to where I was 
yesterday morning. IMHO, workbench shutdown should not be allowed to 
fail in such a harsh manner.
