Import Existing Projects doesnt use project name [message #1752550] |

Hi,
This is my first submitted question here. Please correct me if I'm posting it in the wrong category.
I'm using latest Eclipse version (Neon.2). I have a problem when importing existing Eclipse projects as it uses the folder name (as displayed in the projects sidebar on the left) instead of the project name specified in the .project file.
All my colleagues do not have this issue. It only happens in my PC.
These are my failed attempts so far:
- I have tried opening the same project with older Eclipse version.
- I have cloned the whole workspace from the repository and use it as the new workspace and then re-import them.
I have googled around and apparently there are reported bugs similar to what I'm encountering here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=225754
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=429881
I'm a bit confused though because the reported problems are with older versions and they're already fixed. Yet when I use the older version to open my projects the issue still occurs.
Any advice is appreciated.

Just to answer my own question, in case someone else encounters the same problem.
I solve this issue by adding another layer, i.e. folder, between the workspace folders and the projects.
My workspace path:
D:\workspace
Importing all my projects directly into the workspace below
D:\workspace\*
causes the aforementioned problems.
I solve this problem by importing my projects into a new folder inside the workspace folder.
D:\workspace\dev\*
I think it's a bug? Anyway, I have already resolved it.
