Bug 2118 Move project dialog confusing
Reported: 2001-10-10 22:26:49 | Status: resolved fixed

Create a project In navigator, hit move. In the resulting dialog, it doesn't tell me what it wants me to do. The dialog title just says, "Project". If I go to the location text box, and try to append something, an error message appears at the bottom, which is cut off so I can't read it. There should be at least hoverhelp for long messages. I assume it says "local mapping overlap: d:/eclipse/target/JohnTest and d:/eclipse/target/OtherPlace", which is a bit confusing... I think a user would ask, "what's a local mapping?", or, "How come it says two different directories overlap?". NOTES:
