Description

When creating a Spring Starter project in a non-default, custom file system location, then Eclipse/STS doesn't create the project correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

1. New Spring Starter Project
2. Name: MyProject
3. Uncheck [x] Use default location and change the path
4. Set Artifact to artifact.id
5. Add project to working set: My Working Set
6. Complete the form
7. Check the Package Explorer view.

Expected

Other Projects
My Working Set
    - MyProject (open)

Actual

Other Projects
    - artifact.id
My Working Set
    - MyProject (closed)

Additional Information

• Windows 11
• Eclipse 2023-03 (4.27.0)
• STS 4.18
• There are no new log messages in workspace/.metadata/.log when creating the project
• "Run as Spring Boot App" on artifact.id seems to work.
• The closed project MyProject cannot be deleted. It disappears after restarting Eclipse.
• Creating Spring Starter projects in default location works as expected.
• Creating a Java or Maven project in non-default locations works as expected.

Workaround

1. Create Spring Starter Project with [x] use default location checked.
2. Exit Eclipse.
3. Move project directory to non-default location on command line.
4. Delete the project in Eclipse and re-import it using Import - "Existing Projects into Workspace".
