If I have a folder structure in my project like this:
test.vpj
|
|- A1
| |-B
| |- C
|
|- A2
I cannot add another folder, named "B", as a subfolder of "A2". I get the message "A folder of the same name exists" which is true but it exists as another subfolder. This seems a little limited! I want to have the same directory structure in my SlickEdit project as I have on disk.
Is there an easier way to build a project folder hierarchy that matches the folders on disk.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
How are you setting up this project--what specific steps are you using? What are you doing to add the folder named "B"?
I was able to successfully create a project using this file structure. I created the directory hierarchy as you described it and placed a single java file in each directory.
I created a new workspace and project in SlickEdit, and then I used Project > Project Properties to add the files. I selected the Files tab and used the "Add Tree" button to add the files. I did it once for the A1 tree and once for the A2 tree. I didn't get any complaints about a duplicate folder.
In the Files tab, my file list looks like this:
Project2.java
A1\Project2.java
A1\B\Project2.java
A1\C\Project2.java
A2\Project2.java
A2\B\Project2.java
If anything, it should have complained that I copied the same file to every subdirectory. ;D
Let me know what steps you are taking to set up your project, so I can try them and see if they work for me.
If you haven't tried "Add Tree" or "Add Wildcard", give them a shot--they're way fast.
