Description Ian Brown CLA 2005-10-25 15:01:18 EDT
When I do a check-out-as, New Java Project, a dialog similar to Project 
Properties is presented.

This allows source folder, dependencies etc to be configured, but has a 
shortcoming.

The only source folder you can define is 'default', but the structure we store 
our projects in within CVS has different folder levels, eg:

We have a CVS directory structure of:
component\
   Standard\
      Source\
         java\
      Test\
         java\
      Resource\

We check out at the Standard\ level and thus my project needs to be defined to 
havbe source folders of Source\java, Test\java and Resources.

I cannot define this on check-out, so I have to leave it as (default), check 
the project out, receive a bunch of build errors and then go into Project 
Properties afterwards and create this structure.

That's really a shame - especially as the normal Project Properties dialog 
supports what I need to do really well - and it is only the version presented 
to me in the New Java Project wizard that doesn't...
