Description judytang 2006-04-07 22:03:40 UTC 
I am using 4/7 IDE dialy build with JDK 5.0, Appserver 9.0 b43 on Win XP

An userbility suggestion: Should Move Project allow user to move to a none
existing directory ? Which means a directory would be created if user gives an
none existing directory.

Currently, it does not allow user to move to a none existing directory, so I had
to create a directory first, then do the move project. Which I feel is not user
friendly.

It looks like all the j2ee projects use the DefaultProjectOperations

reassigning for evaluation

I think intentional; otherwise minor typos in the new dir field would result in unwanted directory trees being created.
