R2.0

I have a zip file containing 4 files (under a directory tasklist).
I can select these files and drag them directly into the 
org.eclipse.ui.views.tasklist package in the Packages view.
This does not work in the Navigator for the corresponding folder.
Instead, I have to extract them to the filesystem first.

The Navigator should support direct drag from a zip file.

Actually, if I hold down Ctrl, it works.  This is not needed in the packages 
view because it indicates a copy be default.  The Navigator should do the same.

Entered bug 22666 to decide whether drag move between Eclipse and Windows 
Explorer should be allowed. Even if it is allowed drag move from a zip should 
perhaps still default to copy. This is what the Windows Explorer does. Not sure 
how to determine whether a drag move is possible.

Drag from WinZip now defaults to copy.
