Basically, you want to do this if you want to copy the files of the project you are importing under the workspace folder, and have two copies of the project on your computer at once. This may or may not be what you want to do. In my case it is not what I want to do, as I already have my projects placed in the proper and final location before I import them. My "workspace" folder remains void of project files. This is completely acceptable and is likely what a newcomer to Eclipse working on a test project will want to do. If you are working for someone else, you should ask your employer the setup protocol.
