We have mulitple projects with the same name in the same top-
level directory (a 'source' project for people that need to work on
the project and a 'binary' project for people that only need the
result of the project).
This patch adds next to the projectname and between brackets the
content of the project's comment field (if it exist and is not empty)
in the import wizard.

    Hi Pieter,

    As I see it, this patch will create the imported project
    with another name than the originally exported name. I'm not
    sure that I like that since this might mess up project
    references to this project.

    What is the reason for your change? Is it 1) you want to see
    the project names presented differently in the import wizard
    or 2) you really intend to have the different project names?

    If it is 1) I'd rather have a solution where the project
    comment is presented alongside the project name - in that
    case you won't experience problems with project references
    going wrong because some of the projects have another name.

    I have never had a project with a comment so I have never
    seen a need for this. However, I see your point (if what you
    mean is 1) above). I'll take it into consideration for the
    next release (or you're welcome to post another patch for
    this purpose).

    Hi Jesper,

    It is 1.
    I understand that it is not good to change the project name (and it
    wouldn't work for us), but the projects I imported using the patched
    version still have their original name and only in the import wizard
    shows the comment field along side the project name.
    I didn't find a way using eclipse to edit the comment field of a project,
    but I edit the '.project' file (there is already an empty comment
    element).

    Pieter
