How to limit the depth of .project file searching when importing projects [message #520139]

After I specify a folder for Eclipse to import existing Java projects, Eclipse will iterate all sub-folders recursively to search ".project" files. But Eclipse goes too deep in the folder hierarchy, which takes too much time.

Is there an option or configuration for Eclipse to limit the depth of folder iteration? E.g., don't go deeper than 5 levels to search.

Or is there a way for me to create an empty file in a folder to stop Eclipse going into the sub-folders of the folder containing that file?

Thanks in advance.
