Create a project in Eclipse in a subfolder of the workspace

Question

I want to create a Java-project in a subfolder of the workspace-directory. The wizard either lets me create a project in the workspace-directory, or import an existing one. Is there any way to achieve this?

Answer 1

That special directory is visible by selecting the right top element:

PS: just to be complete, creating a project within a project (nested project) is also not possible (bug 43536 )

Answer 2

It is possible to add a subfolder to a project, by right clicking on the project folder, going to new, and clicking on new folder.
