Description Mickael Istria CLA 2016-08-29 10:07:00 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #500388 +++

the use case is the if some user tries `./eclipse /path/to/project.zip` in CLI, they get Eclipse IDE as ready as possible to work with the folder. Showing the Smart Import wizard so user only has to apply to get started with their project in Eclipse IDE.

I'm marking this one as WONTFIX by lack of interest in it.
Most end-users do first unzip content they receive (it makes everything easier), so I think the case of a end user willing `./eclipse blah.zip` to work is very anecdotical. For reference VSCode doesn't handle it neither.
What could be more interesting if we want to better cover the scenario of end-users opening a zip in Eclipse IDE would be to have a "smart-ish" editors listing the content of the zip, and providing a nice and very accessible button to "Import zip content as project into workspace".
