Description Petr Jiricka 2002-09-17 17:39:26 UTC 
1. Add something to the project, for example a Java package
2. Add something again - the initial wizard panel (Select 
File or Folder) will show two directories whose name 
starts with "Project Home" - that's unintuitive. The users 
usually think of "home" as a unique entity.

I suggest changing the name to something different, such 
as "Project Root Directory" (or something shorter).

The file chooser isn't complete yet, but it will be based on
JFileChooser and will not display the list of 'prefered' or 'known'
locations, it will display the contents of all disks and preselect the
location (folder) which user selected last time. Thus there will be no
need to label special nodes in either way.

The mechanism for adding things into the project is now completely
different, so agreed that this is invalid.
