-------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't the issue here that there are problems importing non-eclipse projects (those with zero eclipse meta data) into Eclipse?

What we want is to be able to examine a project and make a best guess at the project type (e.g., if there is a pom.xml file, then it's a maven project, etc.)

This will be a big deal for 9.0 - and a major change requiring extensive testing - and user docs. 

Testing approach - Create every type of project supported in Central, delete the eclipse metadata, then import and verify that the projects can be reconstructed.

> As a Java EE developer, in some cases using Git for the first time (or only familiar with command line git), I find it very difficult to clone and import a project correctly into JBDS, having the appropriate facets configured, if it has a maven pom.xml, correctly setting the build path, where it is easily deployable to a localhost EAP instance.  
> The mission here is to make the Git experience much more user friendly.
> Progress/Status (updated progressively): https://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/UI/Smart_Import
