Opening Existing Java Projects in Eclipse [message #1107901]

I created a project named Prashant1 under the directory C:\Users\workspace. This project had 2 source files. I exited out of eclipse after closing the 2 source files. After that I created a new project Prashant2 under the directory C:\Users\workspace. This project had 3 source files. I exited out of eclipse after closing the 3 source files. Next day I tried to open project Prashant1, but I could not find a way to open the project. I could open an individual source file under project Prashant1 but not the entire project. Hopefully this explains my problem better.

Prashant,

Rename the project in your workspace, import the conflicting one, then
you can rename either one to whatever you want.
