I want a src/java folder in two Projects. Apparently Eclipse only allows one. [message #95819]

I have five projects in Eclipse. I am adding another Project. One
Project has a source folder named src/java and Eclipse will not allow me
to put a new source folder caller src/java under the new project. What
constraint am I missing? Why does it care about the other Project (they
are not linked in any way - at least to me they aren't).

That doesn't make sense, as you suspect.
When you say Eclipse "does not allow" it, what exactly do you mean? What
is Eclipse telling you?

One possibility is if you are using non-default locations for your
Projects (locating the projects on your drive other than in the
workspace directory). If you're using that feature, you must be careful
not to have Project locations overlap with each other.

HTH,
