In Eclipse's ProjectExplorer window, I create a new generic Project == "SAMPLES".

I want to import several folders from several sources/locations into the Project.

As a first example, in the "SAMPLES" project, I click "Import ...", and navigate to a Local folder "/usr/local/SAMPLE1". This folder contains

	/usr/local/SAMPLE1
		ITEM1-1
		ITEM1-2

If I select that folder, only its CONTENTS are imported. I.e., I end up with

	ProjectExplorer
		SAMPLES
			ITEM1-1
			ITEM1-2

I want to get the parent folder into the project, NOT just its contents. I.e., I want to end up with

	ProjectExplorer
		SAMPLES
			/usr/local/SAMPLE1
				ITEM1-1
				ITEM1-2

How do I get that partent folder into the project, instead of just its contents?
