Eclipse import project error, overlaps workspace location

Question

I have a big project that I want to import to Eclipse, but everytime I do that I get:

Invalid project description.
  D:\\svn\\myproject\\vr overlaps the work         


        

Answer 1

for me the problem was the following:

I was trying to import a project that already existed in my default workspace. Think about it; you are selecting "import into workspace" but if you look in your files directory, the project is already in your workspace, thus it's overlapping.

Here is what I would recommend:

• from windows file explorer i moved the entire project outside of the default workspace. now i can import it into the work space.

• alternatively there is also a few options to import existing code into your workspace ( think its in file --->new project-->android project from existing code , etc etc
