Problem in packages in importing in Eclipse

Question

I am trying to import some existing projects into Eclipse. The structures for their packages is:

Project/
        /src
          /java
             /a
              /b
                /c

Once imported in the package explorer I see:

Project
  src/java
       --a
         --b
            --c
               - AClass.java

This is ok, since the classes e.g. AClass.java are defined in package: a.b.c But in one project the structure (once imported) becomes:

Project
  src
     --java
        --a
          --b
            --c
              - AClass.java

And that causes the error that AClass.java is defined to be in package a.b.c but it is actually under java.a.b.c
Why is this happening? Why in this specific project java is not ignored as part of package?
Thanks

How are you creating the Eclipse projects? It sounds like you just need to put "java" as a root on on the source path here, instead of "src". You can do this by editing the build path after the import process, of course.
