Description Stein M. Eliassen CLA 2002-02-14 09:33:54 EST 
When I copy or move a directory to another directory, the existing directory
gets deleted:

* open Navigator-view
* create a new Java-project, like 'test'
* select 'src'-directory in 'test' and import
plugins/org.eclipse.ui.examples.propertysheet/propertysheetsrc.zip
* import
/home/steinme/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.examples.multipageeditor/multipageeditorsrc.zip
to the root-directory of 'test', ie. not into 'src'

Now we have a scenario where we "forgot" to import into correct directory...

* move test/org to test/src

Now you get a 'Resource Exist'-dialog asking if you wish to overwrite, select 'Yes'.

What I have under test/src/org.../examples is just 'multipageeditor', no
'propertysheet'.

What I expect is to have both, I think it's similiar with how Windows-explorer
works.

When selecting 'Yes' for overwrite above, I expect overwrite of excisting
resources, not a complete removal.

The scenario is in the navigator moving to platform.
