Problem:
    When you try to develop some RCP application or fix bugs you sometimes want to look into other plugins (eclipse part), to see different solutions or make some modifications.

Current Situation:
    You have to launch import wizard (project from CVS or plugin import) and manually define what do you want to checkout.

Desired Situation:
    User selects plugin from dependency, invokes action "as project" or similar and then pde asks CVS/plugin import, and then eventually for CVS locations. In optimistic case 3 mouse clicks to get plugin in workspace.

Additional Information:

This could be also helpful in eclipse development phase when checked out plugins have compile errors because local(eclipse) plugins are not up to date.

Christopher, what would the advantage be as opposed to using the new "Project from CVS" wizard?
