Description Jalpesh CLA 2002-08-27 18:57:28 EDT 
I have a project called foo which is under the directory d:\home\foo.

Now this is a pretty big project with a lot of files. I use this project only
occassionally. However there is one folder under foo called "bar" which has some
files which I work a lot with. 

The problem is that if create a new project called bar, eclipse does not allow
me to create it since bar is already a directory of foo (even though I have the
project foo closed). 

I think this is very limiting because in my case the project foo is a very big
project and I'd rather not open it and consume ton of resources if I am working
in a subset of the project. In my view eclipse should allow creating
sub-projects even if the directory is a part of another project.
