I like the idea of creating projects from some kind of templates. But this must be configurable to avoid the above problem. You could for example have several templates. Each template could have a set of directories which will be created. You specifiy these directories in a simple list where paths are given relative to the project root. You could also have a set of template files you keep somewhere to be copied into the new project structure. This sounds like a rather simple feature and should be enough for most of us. I mean, how often do you create new project structures? At least my projects last long enough to not hav this problem each and every day. ;-) Michael _______________________________________________ Eap-features mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.intellij.com/mailman/listinfo/eap-features
