What is the current behavior?

I am experiencing an issue with the Instant Veins 5.2 virtual machine. After successfully importing the Veins project into the OMNeT++ IDE, the project is lost after restarting the virtual machine. I have to manually re-import the project every time I restart the VM.

What is the expected behavior?

After importing the Veins project into OMNeT++ IDE within the virtual machine, the project should remain in the workspace even after restarting the VM, so that I don't need to manually re-import it every time.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

It is inconvenient to manually re-import the project into OMNeT++ IDE after each restart of the virtual machine. Keeping the project in the workspace should improve the workflow and usability of the virtual machine setup.
