In the Project Properties box in the 'Builders' page, I cannot add a new Ant
builder if I choose to name it the same as a builder in any other project in my
workspace. The error is manifested as the 'Edit launch configuration properties'
dialog box (the properties for the builder) greys out the OK button and displays
the following error at the top:
"Launch configuration already exists with this name."
I am using Eclipse Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435
on Linux GTK on x86_64 with Sun's JRE version 1.5.0_03.

It seems to me that it should only be an error to add a builder with the same
name as another builder in the specific project being edited. Each project
should have its own discrete namespace for builders. Collisions should be
allowed accross projects. The bug is that the UI claims there is a name
collission even if the collision is with a launch configuration in a completely
different project.
