Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-19810:
----------------------------------------

{quote}easy import should not start do anything with projects before it given the user a chance to verify what will happen.
this cannot be handled by treating m2e in a special way.
Suggestion is that we do an initial scan and show what is about to happen (like import project X, Z and Z as maven projects) and user can then press next/finish to "accept" things might take some time.{quote}
The reason is that when you have a project imported, you get access to several pieces of data that can help in continuing the discovery (mainly, which folders to exclude from deep analysis). If you don't have the project imported, it's difficult to get access to this interesting hints and to make a good proposal.

{quote}mylyn does not work as maven import - should be imported strictly as eclipse projects.{quote}
Can you please refine "does not work" ?

> when using git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.docs.git it already has tons of projects with .project in it but also pom.xml. Resulting in slow and eventually wrong imported projects.
> This import is *really* slow with easyimport vs just using plain file import. 
> Shouldn't easyimport honor existing .project files over presence of a pom.xml (or anything else) ? 
> If not could we allow users to disable certain configurators for an import or even reorder priority so mvn wont win ?
