Description John-Michael Au CLA 2011-06-01 21:07:11 EDT 
Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

Importing 'Existing Projects into Workspace' and proceeding with the 'Copy projects into workspace' box checked will cause Eclipse to loop and create an infinite(?) amount of subfolders IF the project folder already exists under the workspace.

i.e workspace/project/project/project/project/...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy a project into your workspace (outside of Eclipse)
2. Import the project using Eclipse (Existing Projects into Workspace)
3. Select 'Copy projects into workspace'

Sorry, this happens when the project folder IS your workspace.

i.e.

1. Switch workspace to /project
2. Import the project (just point Eclipse at your workspace)
3. Select 'Copy projects into workspace'
