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.
