You can create your workspace somewhere else and then link in the 
Chapter01 directory as a project. You should be able to name the project 
anything you want (it doesn't have to be the same name as the directory).

Use the wizard to create a new Java project. Select "Create project from 
existing source" and point it to your Chapter01 directory.

Be advised that the directory will not automatically be copied into your 
workspace. It will continue to live where it is until you explicitly 
move it (we can help with that as well if you'd like).

I think this should do something like what you're hoping for.
