That is exactly how I import the project. I choose New --> Import --> 
Maven --> Existing Maven Projects.

I am working with your cheat sheet in pull 
https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jboss-as-quickstart/pull/363.

When I import the 'kitchensink' project from the 
'quickstarts/kitchensink' directory where I checked out your pull, the 
project name appears as 'jboss-as-kitchensink' and the paths to the 
source files work.

If I copy your 'kitchensink' project from my 'quickstarts/kitchensink' 
directory to 'workspace/kitchensink' and import it from there, the 
project name is 'kitchensink', so the paths to the source files do not 
work because they are hard-coded as 'jboss-as-kitchensink'.

I'm sorry if I'm not being clear here, but the files in both 
'kitchensink' projects are exactly the same. The location of the folder 
appears to affect the project name in JDBS, even though the POM files 
are exactly the same. Please view the screen shots I sent previously to 
see what I mean. If you give me your IRC nick and a channel, I can try 
to explain better. :-)

Can you explain why it displays 'jboss-as-kitchensink' when I import it 
from one location and 'kitchensink' when I import it from another 
location? Have you tried this?
