[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-11037) wizard is preventing going to next page if app name matches existing project

Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-11037:
------------------------------------------

hmm, ok, not quite consistent, I agree. 
But still, having the error on the 2nd page only is not good enough to me. A user would have to know that the project actually would get imported to the workspace and would get the app-name (actually the one in the pom) as it's project name. For the default app - that OpenShift offers initially - the app-name and the artifact name in the pom are identical so importing the default app to the workspace would not be possible. We'd have to rename the imported project. In these terms, the error on the 2nd page looks necessary to me. It's just that it's not obvious to the user that he'd have to switch to the first page and use a different name. The warning on the 1st page helps him to remind him to change the name.
On the other hand, on the first page, an error is not accurate since the user could still choose to merge the OpenShift app into an existing workspace project. 

To me a slight improvement (for B2 or CR1) would be to drop the warning/validation and inform the user about the clash when importing, giving him the possibility to rename his new project (or simply rename it to a non-clashing name: (1), (2) etc.). 

@Max: WDYT?

> It should just warn/inform IMO and the user can choose to point to that existing app on next page
