Description Pascal Rapicault

In the Import Maven project wizard, when I type something in the "root directory" entry, I would like the list of projects to be automatically filed when the entry loses focus. This way I don't have to go and hit the refresh button. This would be consistent with the behaviour of the "import existing project" provided by the platform.

huh. I haven't even noticed before there is a refresh button there. I would say get rid of it entirely, you some eclipse people apparently like their refreshes :)

One thing I noticed on the weekend, if you select a directory, press Refresh, then go and edit a pom (outside Eclipse) pressing Refresh doesn't show changes to the artifactId

is the refresh intended to refresh repository? I thought it's just for refreshing the list of projects?

It is for listing the projects, thinking about it more, I may not have changed the pom.xml but the .project file in one of the projects.

Either way, it doesn't appear to be doing a proper Refresh.

I don't think a proper eclipse refresh is necessary here, all the list population code is using java.io.File instances, not eclipse IResources as far as I could tell, so a workspace refresh is not required.

verified.

This causes problems in some cases. When import a child module of a workspace aggregator project

* right-click on aggregator, import..., existing maven projects...
** expected: list of child modules to import
* press Finish button to import the projects
** expected: wizard disappears and projects get imported
** observed: wizard rescans available projects again

pressing Finish button for the second time works

Only rescan projects when root directory changes. 

Also disabled rescan from ModifyListener because at least on linux/gtk this triggered rescan after each one char change to the field.
