1) EXECUTE: create a new jbossas-7.0 (cartridge/type) application on OpenShift 2) EXECUTE: import the project to the local workspace 3) EXECUTE: change the pom to get invalid (ex. add a 2nd <profiles> tag) 4) EXECUTE: commit and push upstream (using EGit or server adapter) 5) EXECUTE: remove your local git clone and the proj from your workspace 6) EXECUTE: remove the server adapter for your project 6) EXECUTE: import your project again using the OpenShift Express wizard Result: You end up having the git clone, but no project is imported to your workspace (the maven import fails since the pom is invalid) Expected: You end up having a general project in your workspace. The import informs you that the maven project could not be imported since the pom was invalid. It also tells you that the project is imported as "general project" instead.
