I've implemented a new project wizard in Xtext 2.0 M5. I noticed that when I request a project in a non-default location (so outside the workspace) that the project is still made inside the workspace. It wasn't very hard to work around it but I think it's probably an omission in Xtext. The location probably should be stored in the DefaultProjectInfo and then wired up by the AbstractPluginCreator. That, or the option to place the project in a non-default location should be disabled in the default wizard.


Reproducible: Always
