Why i am getting invalid project description while importing project?

Question

I am trying to import an existing project in eclipse. However i am getting this error in the snapshot below. This problem only exists when i try to import from my workspace. However if the same project is somewhere else, then i am able to import it successfully.

I also faced the same problem. The trick bellow solved my problem:

• check the box Copy project into workspace while importing the existing project.
