Can't Open Existing Project in Eclipse

eclipse

Solution

You cannot import a project with a name already present in your current Eclipse workspace.

The surest way to work around that is to switch workspace (menu File / Switch workspace), and create a new workspace (in which you will be able to import that project).

A more complex solution would be to try and rename an existing project in your current workspace.

Problem

I'm trying to open an existing Android project in Eclipse. I've gone to File > Import > General > Existing Project (or something like that). I've chosen the file project folder. But every time I try to open the folder, all I get is an error. - Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace* Is there any other way of opening my project?
