I have a java project (the icon w/ the little 'j') that I have made as a
test and I'd like to duplicate this project, copy the entire project into
another project so that I can modify the code and make another test from
it.

How do I do this so that the code, libraries, etc... are completely
separate and I end up with two copies of the same project w/ a different
project name?

Easiest way possible please.

Using WinZip, compress the project into a .zip file (or export it as a Zip), then unzip it into the workspace (but with a different name). Edit the .project file (as there will be the old name stored in there) and change the file to match the new directory name. Then File->Import existing project into workspace will do the trick.
