One can export project as model element. I think "Export Model Element" should be removed from project context menu. It leads to problems: one can export project as model element and import it into project, and there will be project in project.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Export project using "Export model element" menu
2. Import it using "Import model element" in another project
3. See project in project

this is actually hard to fix. The root node is given by the storage provider. When using EMFStore, the root node is a project, which itself is an EObject. ECP allows to import/export EObjects and therefore also the project. There is not good way to filter out the root node, as ECP does not no the class project from EMFStore :-(
