cool.

Tried the open folder/project.

First impressions good, here are my feedback on it:

1) the menu item says "Open folder/project" but during the import it 
seem to write in progress "Creating Folder" ...that is misleading..what 
folder are being created ?

2) It seem to just guess and then import - user has zero chance of 
actually confirming if the guess is right.

3) It seem to just look at the toplevel dir, I think it should look 
recursively like Import project(s) does and then show which projects and 
what guessed project types it will be imported as.

4) In general I think the UI would be better if similar to import so you 
dont have to just get the OS specific browser as the first thing (i.e. 
being able to easily type full path and/or get list of what projects 
will be imported would make it easier to comprehend what is going on 
IMO)

5) it would be really nice if this feature would be automatically called 
if I dragged a folder to eclipse window

6) javascript seem to get enabled on all projects I try import even 
thogh they aren't all javascript...(i.e. importing jbosstools-browsersim 
root folder)

7) import of a multimodule project like jbosstools-browsersim only 
result in one top root level project (if I used the maven import it 
would have imported the others)

8) it made the target folder in  org.jboss.tools.vpe.browsersim.debugger 
the source folder for the java project - not sure why. it is a PDE 
project that can be deduced from meta-inf and build.properties...

that said this is a really nice feature and would like to see how we 
could include it into jbosstools and definitely try get it into eclipse 
Mars.
