I am trying to create a new java project with the AMD 64 3.0.2 Eclipse

select the default source folder in the "Source" tab. I then click on the
"Add Folder" button and am presented with an empty "Source File Selection"
dialog box.
I was unable to find any reported bug related to this but wanted to double
check to make sure this isn't a know problem. Is there any known work
around for this?
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is to set my source folder to be one
outside my project folder.

Hmm, that is not normal. It should be showing the default source and
build directories in the Source Folder Section dialog. Does the dialog
have the Create New Folder... button at the bottom?
Try this: go ahead and complete the project creation without the extra
source location. Create a new directory in the project (right-click and
choose New > Folder), then open the Project Properties > Java Build >
Source tab and see if you can select the new directory you just created.
BTW, specifying a source location that is outside the project is not
supported unless you use a linked directory (a "virtual" directory in
the Eclipse project that points to another location on your file
system). You create a linked directory by using the Advanced button on
the dialog for creating a new project directory.
See also "linked resources" in the Eclipse help for more details.
HTH,
Eric

No. There is nothing in the dialog. it is completely empty.

I was able to create the new folder but when I went to the
Project Properties > Java Build > Source tab and clicked on the "Add
Folder" I got the same results, an empty dialog box. The same thing when
I clicked on the "Browse" button.

OK, then there is something more fundamental screwed up with your
Eclipse install. A completely blank dialog should not happen at all.
I would suggest your next course of action (if trying to simply remove
and re-install is not a step you're ready to take yet), would be to
search the newsgroups (web interface for searching at www.eclipse.org)
and/or search the Bugzilla database (available at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/) for reports of similar problems.
There may also be some good info found via Google (start with a highly
specific search terms, including exact phrases).
If you can't find anything that helps, try re-posting with details about
exact Eclipse version and your OS, probably to the eclipse.platform
newsgroup instead of 'newcomer'.
I've never seen that kind of UI behavior, so I can't be of more help at
this point.
HTH,
Eric

I've actually tried the uninstall/reinstall path already with no change in
behavior.
I've also already searched the bug list with no success of finding
anything seemingly related.

I'll give that a try.
Thanks for the help.

I tried searching again to double check and actually found someone who
reported seeing the same thing (Bugzilla Bug 65588).
