True, but that's not very nice. I'm not trying to find a way to do it;
I'm more brainstorming about what improvements would make sense inside
the platform.
Temporarily removing a nature just changes the abilities provided on
that project (e.g., removing PDE nature turns the project into a
normal Java project), whereas closing a project removes it from
consideration.
So having a way to remove a nature would be a nice alternative to
closing a project.
You can delete a project without removing the content to remove it
from your project list. Does that mean closed-projects are useless?
As part of bug 245412, I've wrote a Project <-> Folder conversion for
nested projects, and it seems to me that it fits better to usual
development workflow than closed projects. Either the project is shown
as a project, with the natures working and so on, or it's shown as a
simple folder listing its resources. With this approach, I tend to think
that closed projects become useless.
