Description Marco Qualizza CLA 2002-01-14 12:10:47 EST
It would be useful if the Create Package Wizard would auto-populate the package
name with the currently selected package.

ie/
assume:
Test Project
+- a
   +- b
      +- c

What I would like is, when trying to add the package 'a.b.c.d', I could just
select 'c', click "new package", and have the wizard pop up with 'a.b.c.'
already populated.

   Thank you,
   Marco

This would be confusing, since the user wants to create a new package and we 
show him an existing one. 
A better solution would be to support code completion in the field, but we 
cannot do this for 2.0.
