Description Szymon Brandys CLA 2011-01-12 10:27:32 EST 
Project deletion in WorkspaceServlet should be a DELETE request against the Location returned when the project is added to the workspace. I.e., the following should always work:

Perform POST to create a resource
Perform a DELETE on the Location in the POST response to delete the resource that was just created.

Note that for projects we have two "resources" on the server:

/workspace/<workspaceid>/<projectId>   - this resource represents a project being associated with a workspace. Deleting it will remove the project from the workspace.
/file/<projectId>  - this is the resource representing the contents of the project. Deleting here would delete the contents (not clear if we want to expose this capability right now)

I'm working in this area right now, so I will take this.
