seems to say that "Project References" option for a specific project should
be read only and show which project is references by other options like
"Java Build Path"->Projects but on my computer using Eclipse 3.1M4 it's
doing NOTHING.

Any idea why this is not removed from Eclipse?

Because it is of use to non-java projects. It determines the build order
of the projects and for non-java projects that is the only way to
determine the build order (if it applies).

IMHO, by "You can examine them, but making changes will have no impact"
they mean *no impact* is for Java Builder.

But you can imagine that Java Builder is *not the only one*...
