Well, the common use of Eclipse is to define the workspace directory at the
first usage of Eclipse and save it for the next sessions. You can create
workspace at any location, but Eclipse projects are usually created inside
workspace directory. For this, you must only define the project name and let
"Use default location" checked. You have not to define an specific location.
In this way, Eclipse will create the project folder inside the workspace
directory, using the project name.

If you "Use default location", the path can not be customized and the wizard
lets you define only the project name.

If you ARE NOT "Use default location", the wizard lets you define the
project name and the project path, since this path is not inside workspace
directory (if you want the path inside workspace, you should the previous
case: "Use default Location").

I have tested on Linux and I have got the exception. In fact, I was
performing the tests on Windows in a wrong way.
I will post a bug on Garage and fix it for the next release.
