I know this has been asked a lot before, but none of the answers I found helped me out. The box for copying projects is not checked and there are no hidden projects in Navigator view. Can anyone help me out?

    Sounds like you have projects with a directory, and those projects are already defined in the workspace. Or, you are doing import on the workspace directory and not the new project directory. Your question lacks enough information. – K.Nicholas Apr 02 '16 at 16:32
  • Let's start with: close Eclipse. Open up the directory/folder that the workspace is in. Look there. Are the projects already present? – Erick G. Hagstrom Apr 02 '16 at 16:47
  • Please tell us which import mechanism you're using. How are you getting to this message? – Erick G. Hagstrom Apr 02 '16 at 16:48
  • I'm inclined to vote to close as a duplicate of this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6715403/some-projects-cannot-be-imported-because-they-already-exist-in-the-workspace-err. But I want to give you a chance to tell us how your situation differs from the scenarios discussed there. More details, please? – Erick G. Hagstrom Apr 02 '16 at 17:00
  • Nevermind, I fixed it. Thanks for being willing to help. – a_big_chicken Apr 02 '16 at 18:45

The below issue solved my issue:

  • Navigate to your workspace.
  • Copy the existing project you want to import somewhere else.
  • Now import the existing project in the eclipse.
  • It should look like below image after copyingenter image description here
