I have this already existing Talend Open Studio project that I simply wish to rename from "testProject1" for example, to "Project1".
Can someone provide simple step by step please as for some forums talk about IMPORTING AN EXISTING PROJECT AND SIMPLY PROVIDE A NEW NAME and then CLICK ON THE BROWSE BUTTON BUT POINT to the already existing project name (testProject1).
Does anyone know if this will work ? Do we need to then copy/paste some folders here and there or no need ? Anyone knows another way to rename an already existing project name?
FYI. I haven't tested it on old TOS (Talend Open Studio). The current TOS version I'm using is 7.3
Let's say we want to rename the current project name OLD_PROJECT_NAME to NEW_PROJECT_NAME
Close TOS
Go to your workspace and open your project root folder
Look for .project file and open it with your favorite text editor
Change OLD_PROJECT_NAME, to the one you wanted and also rename the root folder name with the new name. For the sake of example, NEW_PROJECT_NAME
Opentalend.project file and changetechnicalLabel attribute value to the new project name. Make the name all in uppercase. and change label attribute value to the project name you wanted in any letter case you want
(if you don't get one, you can skip this step)
Open TOS and now you won't see the OLD_PROJECT_NAME on the list
Click on Import an existing project
On the new window, for Project Name, insert the new project name NEW_PROJECT_NAME and for Select root directory click browse and go inside your root folder and click Select Folder
If you encountered java.lang.NullPointerException while importing, move the newly renamed project folder to a desktop or other working area.
You can now start the import from there. This will copy the project to the Talend workspace after the import is done.
DONE
I would suggest that create a new project with whatever name you have and import all the jobs from the previous project. Previous project's folder will be in workspace folder or whatever path you have set for the workspace.
Alternate solution is given in the following link :

Google well before posting a question.

I deleted a project in my workspace, then tried to create a new project with the same name. Eclipse told me that it overlaps the location of another project (the one I just deleted). How do I fix this?
This is what I did.
Go to Window --> Show View --> Project Explorer
Then right click on the project name that you want to delete and Click Delete.
In the dialogue box, check 'Delete Project Contents on disk'
It worked. I was able to create the project with same name again.
I had the same problem with the IBM Integration Toolkit, which is based on Eclipse. The problem also occurs in Android Studio, which is also based on Eclipse. crazyscot seems to have the right answer at A project with that name already exists in the workspace eclipse and his solution worked for me.
You need to open up the Project Explorer view (it may already be open) and delete the project from within there.
Go to Window >> Preferences >> General >> startup and shutdown >> workspace
theen select Recent work space then click Remove and close the program and open it again
You have to manually delete the project folder from your "workspace" directory (wherever you have defined it to be).
there will be a file .project xml file in the project and its content looks like
<projectDescription>
<name>ProjectName</name>
.
.
.
</projectDescription>
here ProjectName is the name of project you can change it to whatever you want.
First you create a project in some other location with the same name of your project as before.
Now delete this project by right clicking on project > Delete.
Do not check the dialog "Delete Project Contents on Disk".
Now you move your newly created project through file manager to the original location(location where you are not able to import your project).
Then import the project from the newly moved location(location where you are not able to import your project).
After deleting the project from Eclipse IDE(Project Explorer), remove it from work space folder as well. Workspace folder path - C:\Users\username\workspace (it can be different for your system).
try moving the project and try importing
go to tab window>preferences>search workspace> then make sure in last / is not in your recent workspace. Example-:/var/www/html
your url should like above.
With the same problem, I did a text search and found an XML file containing the name of the project.
I had copied the project from another project. Let's say that I copied project A to project B. Although the XML file in the new project (B) was named for project B, it had an entry which still referred to project A. When I edited it, the problem went away.
Simply remove the .classpath and .project files and try.
Go to create new project. Once there, select the project type. Mine was PHP project. The new PHP project screen will popup. There, click create a new project and give the project name which you used before. Then press finish.
If you need a 100% risk-free strategy, just right click the project and select 'export', and put it back where it was. Then, you can either continue using the project in your current directory (with no more popups) or switch over to the directory you were working in before. The side effect of the former is that you will have a duplicate project taking up a small amount of space. If anything, finish up what you need to do in the current directory, then pull (via git) from the original directory. Or, delete the project in the current directory, and import from the original directory to the target directory for the second time - though now, since it is the proper way, the issue will be resolved.
I met this problem just and I just figure out the main reason cause this problem is your copying pom.xml from another already existing project in your workspace.
So the way is find the pom.xml in your project folder and rename <name>conflicted Project name</name>.
In 2021, Using Ubuntu 20 here is simple way to remove it.
In Eclipse main Menu
Window -> Preferences
In the search type recent workspaces
Select and delete the project. click apply changes
Removing a project from an Eclipse workspace does not delete the files by default. You have to check a checkbox for that. This is a Good Thing. As you have not checked the checkbox, you have to delete the files manually using e.g. a file manager.
Note that there are files starting with . in an Eclipse project directory, such as .project. They are considered hidden files on Unices.
go to the folder and delete the file .project. This worked for me.
HI I am trying to import a project into eclipse. The process is that I right click on the package explorer tab and click import, then I navigate to the location of the project. It does not matter if I select copy into workspace or not, I am told that a project with the same name already exists. It does not. I have deleted it from the package explorer and from the workspace folder. Also, I have renamed the folder I am trying to import but still to no avail. It will not let me open the project in the workspace. How can I overcome this?
It told you that the project with the same name already exists, but not "the folder name already exists".
The project name and the folder name are different.
To make sure your project name does not exists in the workspace, please open the .project file to see the project name.
I have seen this message many times, and red and tried to apply a lot of answers but one key thing has not been in any of them.
The most important thing is to first uncheck the "Copy projects into workspace" selectbox, and then you can browse for root directory or archive file, it does not matter. If you first click "Browse", unchecking "Copy projects into workspace" won't do any difference. Nor will refreshing of Package or Project Explorer, like it was explained in this question:Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace error in Eclipse
In Eclipse, I have one existing project, A. Right now, I have just created another project, B, which is empty. Is it possible to copy all the files of project A, including its source code and related libraries to project B? There are a lot of involved libraries in project A. How to do this copying process correctly to ensure the copied files can still be compiled?
This question appears in Google search as top result for query "copy project in eclipse".
To copy project in Eclipse:
1) right click on project in Package Explorer view;
2) choose Copy;
3) right click on free place in Package Explorer view;
4) choose Paste;
5) enter new name in the prompt window.
To answer actual question, the best way is to delete project B and after -- copy project A as explained above and give it name B.
Close Eclipse
Copy the folder of existing project to anywhere on your disk.
Start Eclipse. Turn off the automatically build.
In the Eclipse do Refactor / Rename to the new project name. (If it connected to CVS/SVN disconnect before rename.)
Import back the old project from place where you copied in the second step.
Turn on the automatically build.
Enjoy them!
You can Import the project
OR
Assuming both project A and B are of same type:
You can copy the contents of src folder as it is.
For the libraries, just go to the build path and add them in the ssame way you did for project A.
Since B is empty, you can just copy project A in the Package Explorer and name the copy B.
Create a duplicate/copy of an existing project (in the workspace).
Then in Eclipse, click file->import
Select import existing projects into workspace
Check the radio button "Select root directory"
Browse your project (the new file you copied in workspace in step 1)
Done!
In the project Explorer, right click your old project, click "Copy", right click again click on "Paste" this time, change the default given name "Copy of My_Old_Project" to any of your choice, after the copy is done, go to the "Search" tab in Eclipse, then to --> "Search", on the File Search, type the old name of your project, make sure that your scope is only "Enclosing project", change all occurrences into the new name, run the project, you are all set...
only thing I noticed about this is that the url will still be of the old project.
For a Gradle project, I had to add two extra steps to mOna's answer, which I will copy for completeness.
Create a duplicate/copy of an existing project (in the workspace).
Then in Eclipse, click file->import
Select import existing projects into workspace
Check the radio button "Select root directory"
Browse your project (the new file you copied in workspace in step 1)
Edit .project file and change the and the to match the new project.
Edit settings.gradle and change rootProject.name to match the new project.
I assume that the renaming in some of the above answers does step 6, but I couldn't get it to work. No matter what I tried, without those extra steps the code looked ok but dependencies were not handled correctly and errors appeared everywhere. I was even able to run gradle on my project from the command line and it "built", but was actually building the old project.
Eclipse has a option in file menu like import existing projec.From that you can import the existing project with all content.I hope this is the solution that you are looking for.
I have a project I am working on. I have decided to try working with it in Eclipse. There is already a directory, under version control where all the code resides. I am having a rather strange problem. I cannot find any way to just start using an existing code directory as an eclipse project. All I can find is how to import existing source into a new project or check out source from version control into a new project. How do I make an existing directory into a project?
My project is a Django web app if it is any help
In the New Java Project wizard, uncheck the checkbox that says Use default location and the use the Browse button to find your directory.
It is pretty easy to do. Go to File->New-> Project. In the Project wizard, choose the type of project you want and then be sure to unclick the 'Use default location` checkbox. Browse for your folder in the widget that then becomes enabled. Click finish after that.
Alternatively, you could create a brand new project workspace in a new location. Then, assuming Java as your project type, you can open up your project properties and add as a source folder your existing directory. To do this, use the 'Link Source' button on the Java Build Path -> Source tab of your Project Properties dialog.
My Method:
I clone this file to new project directory , and rename Project-Name to my project name, after that i import new files and directory from Eclips
File Name: .project ( Use Notepad for make this file...select Save as type to All Files (*.*) and write file name like: .project )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>Project-Name</name>

Creating linked resources
Folders and files can be linked to locations in the file system outside of the project's location. These special folders and files are called linked resources.
To create a linked folder:
In one of the navigation views, right-click the project or folder where you want to create the linked folder.
From the pop-up menu, select command link New > Folder.
Specify the name of the folder as it will appear in the workbench. This name can be different from the name of the folder in the file system.
Click Advanced.
Check Link to alternate location (Linked Folder).
Enter a file system path, or click Browse to select a folder in the file system.
Click Finish.
Probably not the way most people would go about this, but I like all of my eclipse projects in one place but don't necessarily have my source in my workspace directory. Maybe there is a built in way to "symlink" in eclipse, but I sometimes end up with the project folder in the workspace, with the "src" symlinked to the actual source directory somewhere totally different. That's my personal preference anyway. If you too are on a *nix machine a simple
ln -s /path/to/source src
will do from your project directory.
You know, it is not so simple question. Depending on your project type (jar, web module, ear and so on) different structure and configuration files are used by eclipse. So the first really interesting question is that what is your project type? The basic solution after it to create a new project, and define the directory of your source code as project root. Then you will see what else to change (for example source path settings, classpath and so on). So how does your project look like? Can you proide structure tree of folders?
Since you are using Django you should first set up PyDev in Eclipse. You can install it from the market. Then you want to configure the PyDev Python interpreters to find your installation of Django (http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html). Make sure to provide the explicit path to the Django folder if your Django is not installed in the default location.
Once these things are ready you can select File > New > Other, then select PyDev Django Project from the PyDev sub directory.
Click next and here is the sweet part: Uncheck 'Use default' (as previously stated) and then find your Django project directory. Be sure to select the right project folder (ie: the folder that contains manage.py). When you have the right folder selected Eclipse/PyDev will recognize that a project already exists and make mention that it will use those files. Click Finish.
Then there is a DB form that asks about your DB settings. If you already have a settings.py file then this seems to make no changes (as it should not). So fill it in or don't. But this is the last step.
Then you should be able to view and use your existing project in Eclipse!
I just created a pom.xml by hand and imported the project as an existing Maven project in Eclipse. It even works for nested projects without problems.
Use "import - existing projects into workspace". This works for my case.
Right click on a project -> Properties.
Open project location in explorer, there's a little icon next to path.
Put your folder/file structure in there and refresh the project in eclipse.
I want to create a project that uses source files already on my filesystem, but the IDE always wants to create a directory and make a second copy of all the source.
This has always annoyed me about Aptana and Eclipse, is there a workaround for this?
I am using Aptana Studio 3 on my mac and the way I do it is:
Click on File
Select Import from the dropdown menu
Select the General tab and open it, you will see the option Existing Folder as New Project
Select it and click on Next
On the next page select the folder where you have the old project files, name the new project(if you want to change it). You can also select the languages that you have used on the project.
Click Finish and you are set to go.
One small addendum, the existing folder doesn't actually need to be in your workspace. I have several projects in my workspace but also several located elsewhere for assorted reasons.
have the files in a directory under your workspace
use "create project" and change the default folder to the one created above.
I too wasn't aware of how to do this..
But i tried this way and it worked..
Step 1: Try to create new workspace with the name and location as you wish
Step 2: click new->Java Project
Step3: In the create a Java Project Window select the option for Creating from existing Resource" and select the resource you want
Step4: You can see the project name as automatically set by itself based on the folder containing the project that you select.
Step5: click finish
Step 6: I guess, you need to open Navigator view(Window->show view-> navigator) for best viewing
Hope this works gud.. Post here if its not working,..
There is a checkbox named "Prompt for workspace on startup". It's in Window -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces. If you check this, on next Aptana startup you will be prompted to define a new Default workspace directory which would be your default projects folder.
There is also another way to do that.
Create an empty project (right-click in the Project Window and go to "New->Project" and then "General->Project" and click "Next", after that type in a project name and click "Finish").
Add a new connection to this project (right-click on "Connections" and then "Add New Connection"). The "Source" should be your project and the "Destination" should be the type "Filesystem" with a folder of your choice.
Finished.
I only use that method in very rare cases, as example, if u need a simple file-reference of any folder on your harddrive or if you need an overall file-reference to your workspace folder which contains all project folders, etc..
This answer by no means solves the issue above in Aptana but if you are in a rush, try using FreeCommander http://www.freecommander.com. It is a dual pane file manager with a slew of options. I have been using it for almost 3 years and there is never a day I don't use it.
What I did for now, is I allowed Aptana to create a folder in the workspace at the same level as the original folder I would like to use. Using FreeCommander I then have the original (src) folder in one pane with the new folder (dst) in the other pane.
I then manually copy (F5) or use FreeCommander's built in sync function (Alt + s) so that both folders have the same contents at all times.
Again, not the right answer but a workaround as work needs to be done. Cheers.
