Description Carl Anderson CLA 2010-06-15 15:59:40 EDT 
Create a Java project, and then do Export->General->Archive File and select the Java project.  Then bring up a new workspace and do Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace, switch to the Select Archive file radio button, and choose the zip file you just created.  When the build finishes, you will see the following errors:

Java Build Path Problems
     Project 'EmptySrc' is missing required source folder: 'src'
Java Problems
     The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved

This is due to the fact that the src directory does not exist in the imported project.
