Description Simon Lieschke CLA 2003-04-07 21:58:13 EDT 
OK, I have eight odd run configurations set up in Eclipse presently, but none
are for the projects that I currently have open. If I try to run one of them, I
get the error message:

Launch configuration X references non-existing project Y.

Now project Y does exists, I just don't have it open. So the error message is
incorrect, and should at least be changed to something like:

Launch configuration X references closed project Y.

Now if a run configuration cannot be run because the project it belongs to is
closed it probably shouldn't be shown in the Run drop down and run configurations.
