Description Dani Megert

Currently EE descriptions can only be installed into the existing build. This is a pain when switching to a new build: I have to install them again and again. This is more visible now because we flag missing EE descriptions as errors ==> as soon as I go to a new build I get errors.

I see two ways to fix this:
1. We allow to export the EE descriptions and allow to specify them by
   pointing to a specific location.

2. We cache the EE descriptions inside the workspace, so that it will be still
   be there after switching the drop.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
