I think is very bad way, you have to copy de directory of the existing project in the working directory and when creating put the name of the directory in the ide.

Just add an option like 'create new project from existing source', navigate to de directory and when you choose it, eclipse copy this directory to working directory.

You don't have to copy the project into the workspace directory. In most cases you don't want to copy an existing project into the workspace. you want to work on it where it exists. When creating the project, uncheck the Use default location and then use the Browse button to location where the project exists.
