Description Chris Ledantec 2003-05-14 12:55:30 UTC 
Issue: The Project tree contains classes twice 
after finishing the wizard, once in the 
packages hierarchy, once in the source 
hierarchy. Analysis: When sources are added 
via the Sources node and then also marked as 
Java Roots this duplication appears. This 
problem is a symptom of the ambiguously 
communicated relationship of Java and Source 
roots in the project.

Recommendation(s): Java and Source roots as 
user concepts do not work well. The 
duplication of files in two places is only one 
symptom connected with confusion about what a 
Java root is and what a Source root is when 
adding files to a project. 

Removing the user concept may help this 
problem though more thought needs to go into 
how to mark sources for inclusion on the 
classpath (which is really what the Java root 
represents).
