[dev-200502021900, JDK 1.4.2_07] 1) Create J2SE project with main class, build it 2) Delete the project from disk Project is still in Projects view but all nodes of the project are removed except Libraries node, Project Properties are all empty and name of the project there is '???'. I don't mean that IDE should be super inteligent about deleted project (it might be considered as user error) but it should definitely handle such situation more gracefully.
