Description Christian Georgi CLA 2013-02-10 11:31:07 EST 
I often need to import projects from the same, deeply nested source code location into the workspace.  The "Existing projects into workspace" wizard, however, only stores the selected location only per-session, so that after a restart of Eclipse, I have to browse for the folder again.

The attached patch saves the project or archive location in the workspace preferences.

If we start to remember the location, then we should do it the same as in the other import/export dialogs, where we present the previous values in a combo box.

See org.eclipse.ui.internal.wizards.datatransfer.WizardArchiveFileResourceExportPage1.internalSaveWidgetValues() for an example.  Also, we use IDialogSettings instead of preferences to remember previous locations.

I have updated WizardProjectsImportPage accordingly, i.e. replaced the Text fields with Combos and used IDialogSettings instead of preferences.
In order to make use of the existing combo history infrastructure, the page now extends WizardDataTransferPage.  This also removes some code redundancies (see queryOverwrite()).

I didn't do a code review, but the functionality works fine.

I updated the copyright notice.
