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

What I did to solve the problem:

1. Rename the Project.

   • For example, the issue was with "C:\NividousCode\Production_Daily_HealtchCheck" (Eclipse returned error that this overlaps with another project - which was true I did have another project in another directory called "C:\cjaphe\Production_Daily_HealtchCheck")

2. Solution was to "C:\NividousCode\Production_Daily_HealtchCheck" to "C:\NividousCode\Production_Daily_HealtchCheck_TEMP"

When I the projected, Eclipse did not complain! and worked!
