Description Simon Arsenault

I'm using build 2001-12-04 with the latest Eclipse UI code loaded.

- create a simple project called Test and set the custom location to be 
d:\temp\t1 (or whatever you want, just do not call it Test)
- select the project Test and rename it
- once the rename is complete, check the file system, and notice d:\temp\t1 
directory is gone.

If the project has at least on file/folder in it, the directory is not deleted.

When renaming a project with a user defined location, it should not change the 
directory.

Beside fixing this directory being deleted problem, we need to address the 
issues with renaming a project will sometimes change the actual directory name 
and sometimes not. From a user level, it is not obvious to them. Core and UI 
need to come-up with a proper behavior that the user will expect when renaming.

Fixed in integration build 2002-01-15. Confirmed in Win98.

Moving to Platform/UI for comments on second issue, and closure.

We need a consistent user model for renaming projects. It's confusing why 
default and custom location projects behave differently but yet look the same 
to the user.

Is this still an issue?
