Build Identifier: I20110603-0909

  C/C++ Development Tools	8.0.0.201105301135	org.eclipse.cdt.feature.group	Eclipse CDT
  C/C++ GCC Cross Compiler Support	1.0.0.201105301135	org.eclipse.cdt.build.crossgcc.feature.group	Eclipse CDT

when creating a new C/CPP project(e.g.sharead lib.cross gcc):
I want to create a new eclipse project for existing source and have eclipse manage the project and produce new makefiles. I also want ALL the sources to be under a 'src' folder which is a subfolder of the project folder.  

1. there is no wizard page to help importing an existing source folder to be a subfolder of the newly created project
2. copying existing source into a manually created 'src' folder and adding that src folder as source folder fails to recursively detect existing subfolders if the project folder is removed from the source folder list.
3. make files are not generated as well.
4. when fording the make generation by deletion of the Debug folder the source folder is ignored 
5. adding the entire source tree folder by folder still fails to produce makefiles and build

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. craete a new project 
2. copy sources to be under src folder
3. add src as source folder and remove the root project folder from source folder list
