Description Prakash Rangaraj CLA 2010-11-18 06:23:48 EST 
(1) Create a project in the default location
(2) Export it to an archive
(3) Delete it (but don't choose the option to delete from disk)
(4) Make some changes in the <workspace root>/<project> directory
(4) Import the archive you exported in step 2

This results in files from both the archive and directory. If the directory already has a file thats available in the archive, then it doesn't modify it.

Ideally we shouldn't be allowing the import at all.

This patch caused a new bug:
- Open the import existing project wizard.
- Browse into a directory with one or more eclipse projects.
- The projects are selected by default. 
- Unselect some or all of the projects.
- Click the "copy projects into workspace" button
- All projects are reselcted.

Any click on the copy button will always cause the project selection to return to the default state.

Attached is a patch that fixes this issue.
