See $subject.

This keeps coming back and hunt us once every 5-6 months.

That wether you put projects in workspace or outside or nested in the 
workspace Eclipse will treat the name of the project differently.

call a project `wonka` in a folder named `wonka-app` and it will not be
called `wonka` if put in workspace/wonka-app, but it will be called 
'wonka'
if put in somewhereelse/wonka-app or workspace/examples/wonka-app.

Why is this limitation there ?

I tried searching in bugzilla but no real luck.

Found things like https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359744
and
