YOu cannot import a project underneath the root an existing project.

Comment 2 MG 2005-04-11 12:14:57 EDT

I don't think I was trying to.  I have the following setup:

c:\projects\.metadata
c:\projects\project1

and I was trying to import 

c:\projects\project2 

how is that incorrect?

Comment 3 Tod Creasey 2005-04-11 13:16:22 EDT

c:/x/projects/project and c:/x/projects overlap likely indicates that project is
already in your workspace directory i.e. your root is c:/x/projects.

You can always create a new project with that location to get it back but
importing into the current workbench is not currently supported. See Bug 76417

Comment 4 MG 2005-04-11 16:58:02 EDT

That is correct it already exists in my workspace directory.  Could I move it to
a different one then import it and would that work?  

So import doesn't just take the project from where it currently exists and make
it visible in the workspace, it will actually copy the project from its current
physical location and put it into the workspace directory?

Comment 5 Tod Creasey 2005-04-11 17:03:34 EDT

Yes you can just move it. Or create a project with that name at the same
directory using New Project and you will get everything else for free.

We don't copy when we import - we stay pointing at the same location. There is a
request open to support copying but we haven't got to it yet.

See Bug 17523
