Aptana/Eclipse: How do I make a project that uses existing files on my filesystem, instead of copying?

I want to create a project that uses source files already on my filesystem, but the IDE always wants to create a directory and make a second copy of all the source.

This has always annoyed me about Aptana and Eclipse, is there a workaround for this?

There is a checkbox named "Prompt for workspace on startup". It's in Window -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces. If you check this, on next Aptana startup you will be prompted to define a new Default workspace directory which would be your default projects folder.
