Bug 21133 Can't import prefernces from file with no extension
Reported: 2002-06-28 11:05:33 | Status: resolved fixed

Build GM6 When you hit the Import button on the preferences page, you are allowed to pick a file from a list of existing files. If you choose a file with no extension, the .epf extension is automatically added to the filename, even if the <filemane>.epf file does not exist. Importing preferences should not automatically add the extension. If the user has chosen a file with no extension, Eclipse should at least try to load the preferences from that file. If loading the preferences from that file fails, only then should Eclipse try to load from <filename>.epf.
