Generally if a match is found it will use it. It does the match based
on the location you entered though, not the root. In general, I would
recommend you define the root as the location, but if the Eclipse
repository is going to put multiple projects in the same repository,
you might not want to do that.
You will probably need to debug the code to see what it is doing and
why it is not matching.
