Eclipse import project error, overlaps workspace location

Tags:

eclipse

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 workspace location: D:\svn\myproject\vr 

I also reinstalled Eclipse, then set my workspace to where the program exists and then I choose to import the project and always get this error.

Anyone has a solution for this? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Use another EMPTY (thus clean) directory for your clean workspace. Eclipse doesn't require projects to be IN the workspace directory.
