Build ID: 3.4M7 Steps To Reproduce: 1. Create a directory called badname 2. Create an empty .project file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <projectDescription> <name>goodname</name> </projectDescription> 3. Click Import->Existing project into workspace 4. choose the directory badname You'll see in the list badname(goodname) and after import the project will be named "badname" More information: I looked at org.eclipse.ui.internal.wizards.datatransfer.WizardProjectsImportPage. and found the logic in ProjectRecord.setProjectName. Not sure if it's intentional and what the rationale is. But in my particular case this doesn't work well. I'm importing about 20 projects in a complex directory structure where the directory names are different from the project names. Projects depend on each other, so after the initial import all those dependencies don't resolve.

I am facing the same issue. I am running eclipse on Windows XP SP2. JDK 1.5.0_09 I am using Eclipse 3.4 (ganymede) RC1, now. eclipse-jee-ganymede-RC1-win32.zip Before that, I was using Eclipse 3.3.2 SDK and I download/install/update with WTP packages. When I do "import project", Eclipse 3.3.2 will use the value (project name) that I have set in the ".project" file. But when I switch to using Eclipse 3.4, when it imports project, it will use a different project name. For example, in the ".project" file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <projectDescription> <name>test01_konkeong</name> <comment></comment> <projects> </projects> <buildSpec> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand> </buildSpec> <natures> <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature> </natures> </projectDescription> From Eclipse 3.3.2, do File | Import ... | General | Existing Projects into Workspace. Then choose the directory and then Refresh. It will show "test01_konkeong". Which is what I want. From Eclipse 3.4 RC1, when I do the same step above, it will list "test01 (test01_konkeong)". After import successful, it will use the name "test01". Which is not what I want. Is this behaviour a "new feature"? Please see attachment.
Sandu and/or Lee, could you please try a more recent release candidate build? It looks like this is a duplicate of bug 225754 but I would like you to confirm that the Import wizard works for you again.
Dear Boris, I have tested using eclipse-jee-ganymede-RC2-win32.zip. It is now importing as how I want it to be (same as old behaviour). Thank you so much. konkeong
