I imported existing maven projects into my spring-tool-suite "eclipse" IDE but the projects folders doesn't show up in my workspace directory.
What might be the problem?
Thanks.
PS :: For instance if you import a normal java project into eclipse IDE you get the option of checking a box to copy the project into the workspace, but in spring-tool-suite there is no such option.

I have a number of projects in my Eclipse workspace, some of them plain ol' Java projects, some of them Java web applications, some of them Flash Builder Flex projects.
They all live in a directory hierarchy. How can I open all of them in IntelliJ IDEA to be able to migrate from Eclipse to IDEA? The projects reference each other.
You can create an IntellIJ IDEA Project from source using the Import Project in the main menu.
Select the eclipse .project file or .classpath then check Link created IntelliJ IDEA modules to Eclipse project files.
The official docs, here:
To import an existing Eclipse projects to IntelliJ IDEA:
Open the New
Project Wizard. Having selected the option Import project from
external model, click Next.
On the Import page of the New Project
Wizard, select Eclipse. Optionally, check the option Import into
current project. Click Next.
On the next page of the wizard, specify
the directory, that contains the desired Eclipse workspace. In the
section IntelliJ IDEA project and module file location, specify
whether you want to create IntelliJ IDEA module files in the same
directory where the Eclipse projects reside, or in a dedicated
directory of your choice.
Check the option Link created IntelliJ IDEA
modules to Eclipse project files to automatically synchronize the
Eclipse projects and IntelliJ IDEA modules.
Specify whether you want test sources to be imported.
Click Next. IntelliJ IDEA scans the specified workspace for projects.
On the next page of the wizard, select the Eclipse projects you want
to import. So doing, each Eclipse project is converted to a separate
IntelliJ IDEA module. Click Next. Specify the name for the new
IntelliJ IDEA project, and the location of the project files.
Select also the format in which the project will be stored. Click Finish.
If you select "Keep project and modules in" you could separate eclipse project and IntelliJ IDEA project files
I never did something like this, but after reading docs and playing a bit the options it should be the best way.
I have a project in my Eclipse workspace from Github (via File -> Import -> Projects from GIT).
However, I am unable to run the example because the only option I have under "Run As" is "Run Configurations."
After going to "Run Configurations" I click "browse" and the project that I imported from GIT isn't there.
Any ideas?
The question is already answered in the comments but I am providing this answer to possibly clear up some misunderstandings.
In order to recognize a folder as a (Java) project, Eclipse needs to read (or create) a few files for each project, like .project and .classpath. If you do not have them in your project, or do no create them during the import, then Eclipse just imports it as a resource, or a dumb folder.
If your project is tracked by git and is also a maven project, you can clone it locally with Git (command line or GUI tool) and then "Import as existing Maven project" in Eclipse. This will use your pom.xml to create the two files mentioned above and your project will be buildable.
Alternatively, if you have already imported it as you described in your question, you can right click on your project on Package Explorer and choose Configure-->Convert to Maven Project. This will create the .project and allow you to build the project using Maven (right click->Run as..-> Maven build) and Eclipse's incremental builder (where necessary). If your maven project builds an executable, the option to execute it will also be available in the Run as.. menu.
If you have a more complex maven project (like an aggregate pom), and want a Run Configuration that runs a specific program, you will have to write it yourself by opening the Run Configurations window and explicitly referencing the java class.
Don't import the project using git clone. Download it as zip file and extract it. Add it using Project>import> General> Projects from folder and Archive.
Provide path of extracted folder into import source and finish and go to eclipse and clean and build safely run and right click on project and run it.
It should work
I have imported my maven project in eclipse using Import Maven project. It got import in eclipse project explorer, but all the source folder are opening as files and folders, its not opening as java source folder. Since its opening as files and folder, it doesnot have compilation unit, found very difficult to code using it.
What do I need to do inorder to make the source folder as java source folder so that I can code easily?
Select the project and from the context menu choose Maven -> Update Project Configuration (This menu item gets reworded across various maven releases so look for something similar). You may also need to choose Update Dependencies.
In the shell/command line, execute mvn eclipse:eclipse
I have been working with Netbeans quite a while and I am now moving to Eclipse.
Basically I have a Maven project that I would like to work on using Eclipse.
What I am not sure about is whether I need to point my Eclipse workspace to the directory where my project super pom is located or whether the Eclipse workspace needs to point to a clean/empty directory.
My question is basically:
Are the source files eventually located in the Eclipse workspace directory?
Can anyone please advise?
Regards,
If you have the m2e or m2eclipse plugin installed, you can just do "Import..." then "Existing Maven Projects" and point it at the super-pom. It'll import all the modules it finds, as separate projects.
you can use the maven eclipse target to generate project files so you can move them directly in the eclipse workspace:
mvn eclipse:eclipse

It's a matter of personal preference whether you have the source files in the workspace folder or not. Eclipse can import your project from any folder. Personnaly, I keep my projects folder separated from the workspace folder.
I have one IntelliJ project and I want to open it in Eclipse, so what should I do?
There is an export to eclipse option in Intellij Under file menu.
This option will generate you the necessary .project and .classpath files that will be used by eclipse. Personally, I would remove any IDE dependencies using some dependency management systems like Maven or Apache IVY. ( Is system the right term?)
I had the same issue and (I don't have Intellij) but doc_180's comment pointed me in the right direction. Here is a simple solution. In Eclipse create a new blank Android project. Copy the .project and .classpath files and the .settings folder to the Intellij folder. Edit the .project file and change the name of the project.
You should now be able to Import the project in Eclipse by right clicking and selecting "Import->Existing Project into Workspace".
I see this is an old question, but thought I should add this answer for others Googling it like me ;)
Without access to IntelliJ to export and convert the project, try the following.
In STS or Eclipse create an empty project first, then, select File -> Import and choose General -> File System. In the resulting dialog box, select the root folder of the IntelliJ project as source and the empty project as the destination.
For unit tests, add the test folder as a source folder to the build path (right-click on the folder, select Build Path -> Use as Source Folder).
The projects I import this way run without any further modifications, including the tests.
Eclipse and Intellij create different project structure each other (Output path, Source Code etc...). You can export the current project to Eclipse environment.
File -> Export -> Project to Eclipse
