Does "Create project from existing source" modify existing sample?

Does "Create project from existing sample" modify anything in the original sample project files?

If so, what is the best way to "Create project from existing sample" without modifying anything in the original sample project files?

(I am assuming project duplication is involved, but step-by-step instructions would be very helpful for future Android-newbies)

The following is a sn开发者_如何学运维apshot of the options available, to further clarify my question:

Using this "Create project from existing source" option should not modify anything inside the project.

It simply modifies your worskpace settings (inside the .metadata folder of your current workspace) so as to include the imported project into the view.

If you select the "Copy into workspace" option, the original project folder will be copied into your workspace folder, otherwise, Eclipse will work on the original folder. But in both cases the contents of the folder are not modified.

The short answer to this question is Yes.

An excellent analysis of this is provided in the "Yes" link above,
