This is usability request - when I tried powerful include/exclude pattern mechanism for the first time, I was puzzled by the fact that whole path is shown in the lists. I tried to set patterns like: F:\Adoption\Excel\jexcelapi_2_6_1\jexcelapi\src\ instead of correct one jexcelapi\src\ IMHO names of items in include/exclude lists should start with subfolders of the source folder chosen in previous wizard step "Existing Sources"
The reason it shows the full path is that it is (potentially) matching against multiple source roots.
Now shows relative path, unless you have >1 root, in which case it shows the complete path (since otherwise it would be hard to distinguish between matches from the different roots).
