Description Troels Liebe Bentsen CLA 2006-03-12 11:16:45 EST 
Importing a project that includes symlinks that has recursive points can make Eclipse crash. Eclipse needs to check for this on platforms that support symlinks and with Windows Vista that should be pretty much everybody.

An example of this would be a project with:
  test/test2 ->  ../
