Description Meng Xin Zhu CLA 2011-12-05 22:58:28 EST 
I'm using Juno 4.2 M2.

I want to import a project from my git's working directory. However the wizard tells me the project with same id exists in my workspace. But I can't find that project in both Navigator and package explorer. There is no working set selected.

And I also can't find a folder for that lost project under <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects.

I don't know how to reproduce this one, let me know if you need any data from my workspace. Any workaround would be appreciated.

Can you see anything in the error log? I was trying to reproduce it with the latest IBuild and couldn't see the problem.

There is no error logged related to o.e.core.resources. The import wizard always considers the project already exists in my workspace. Do you know which configuration file is used by 'Project Import Wizard' to know already existing projects?

Sorry for bothering you guys. I found the project in my workspace! The folder in file system and symbol name of bundle are A, however the name used in .project is B. What a shame. :(
