* Features of projects include:

* <li>A project collects together a set of files and folders.</li>
* <li>A project's location controls where the project's resources are
* stored in the local file system.</li>
* <li>A project's build spec controls how building is done on the project.</li>
* <li>A project can carry session and persistent properties.</li>
* <li>A project can be open or closed; a closed project is
* passive and has a minimal in-memory footprint.</li>
* <li>A project can have one or more project build configurations.</li>
* <li>A project can carry references to other project build configurations.</li>
* <li>A project can have one or more project natures.</li>

/**

* The name and location of a project cannot be changed using this method;
* these settings in the project description are ignored. To change a project's
* name or location, use {@link IResource#move(IProjectDescription, int, IProgressMonitor)}.
* The project's session and persistent properties are not affected.
* </p>
* <p>
* If the new description includes nature ids of natures that the project
* did not have before, these natures will be configured in automatically,
* which involves instantiating the project nature and calling
* {@link IProjectNature#configure()} on it. An internal reference to the
* nature object is retained, and will be returned on subsequent calls to
* <code>getNature</code> for the specified nature id. Similarly, any natures
* the project had which are no longer required will be automatically
* de-configured by calling {@link IProjectNature#deconfigure}
* on the nature object and letting go of the internal reference to it.
* </p>
* <p>
* The <code>FORCE</code> update flag controls how this method deals with
* cases where the workspace is not completely in sync with the local file
* system. If <code>FORCE</code> is not specified, the method will only attempt
* to overwrite the project's description file in the local file system
* provided it is in sync with the workspace. This option ensures there is no
* unintended data loss; it is the recommended setting.
* However, if <code>FORCE</code> is specified, an attempt will be made
* to write the project description file in the local file system, overwriting
* any existing one if need be.
* </p>
* <p>
* The <code>KEEP_HISTORY</code> update flag controls whether or not a copy of
* current contents of the project description file should be captured in the
* workspace's local history. The local history mechanism serves as a safety net
* to help the user recover from mistakes that might otherwise result in data
* loss. Specifying <code>KEEP_HISTORY</code> is recommended. Note that local
* history is maintained with each individual project, and gets discarded when
* a project is deleted from the workspace.
* </p>
* <p>
* The <code>AVOID_NATURE_CONFIG</code> update flag controls whether or
* not added and removed natures should be configured or de-configured. If this
* flag is not specified, then added natures will be configured and removed natures
* will be de-configured. If this flag is specified, natures can still be added or
* removed, but they will not be configured or de-configured.
* </p>
* <p>
* The scheduling rule required for this operation depends on the
* <code>AVOID_NATURE_CONFIG</code> flag. If the flag is specified the
* {@link IResourceRuleFactory#modifyRule} is required; If the flag is not specified,
* the {@link IWorkspaceRoot} scheduling rule is required.
* </p>
* <p>
* Update flags other than <code>FORCE</code>, <code>KEEP_HISTORY</code>,
* and <code>AVOID_NATURE_CONFIG</code> are ignored.
* </p>
* <p>
* Prior to modifying the project description file, the file modification
* validator (if provided by the Team plug-in), will be given a chance to
* perform any last minute preparations. Validation is performed by calling
* <code>IFileModificationValidator.validateSave</code> on the project
