Description Oleg Besedin CLA 2011-04-08 11:48:02 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #278402 +++

I have a project with an empty folder in it, which I exported to a zip file using the standard "Export > General > Archive File" method.

I subsequently imported that project into another workspace using "Import > Genearal > Existing Projects into Workspace" method.  The resulting project does not have the empty folder that was in the original project.

This is a problem especially for Java projects with empty src folder, because after importing there will be an error saying the src folder is missing.
