[Moving this into the forum]

In the JBoss source, each sub-project has a .project file. These project files contain project names which mirror the directory of the sub-project, like this:

aspects
build
cluster
common
etc...

This does not play nicely with Eclipse. When I import them into a workspace, I get a bunch of projects which are not recognizable as JBoss-related mixed in with my home grown (and other 3rdparty) projects like this:

aspects
blah [mine]
build
cglib [cglib's]
cluster
foo [mine]
etc...

This would be much, much more pleasant if all JBoss projects started with a prefix:

blah
cglib
foo
jboss-aspects
jboss-build
jboss-cluster
etc...

Why not change the names in JBoss' .project files? I submitted this bug, which was rejected:

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBBUILD-304?page=all

I ask here, what docs explain this? I can practically quote most of the JBoss docs as scripture, but hell if I can find any rationale for the ambiguous naming of the .project files. My typical workspace has about 15 projects aside from the ones from JBoss.

BTW, the JBoss portal projects at least all have portal- at the beginning.
