I have project in GIT that I can see on my local repo through command line interface. Now when I try to import GIT project I still see it on 'Select a wizard to use for importing projects' but when I check 'Import existing project' and click next to next window called 'Import Projects' the project goes missing.
I also tried importing project both by creating new project and coping source into it and also by importing existing project option but some how source does not import in all the attempts.
Check if it has '.project' file. If no, you should create it somehow. For example, in gradle prjoject you can run 'gradle eclipse' command, for maven project - something other. If it is just clean java project - create new Java project in Eclipse, create at least one class and save it. After that you may close eclipse, and copy all source files from project that you trying to import to folder, where created class is placed.

The .factorypath file is a generated file, which eclipse requires for annotation-processing. The m2eclipse plugin does generate this file when using "Update Maven Project" (Alt+F5) and checking "Update project configuration from pom.xml".
However, I don't want to check this file into version control. But if not, and someone from the team does a fresh checkout, and imports the project in eclipse, the .factorypath does not get generated until the "Update Maven Project" is performed manually. I don't want this manual step when a project gets imported, this has to happen automatically. Is there an option, that a project has to be updated upon import?
Since this is an IDE related question, and you seem to be using Eclipse IDE:
Menu Window > Preferences > Maven > Automatically update Maven projects configuration .
This will make it for you on project import so you would not need that manual step anymore.
Assuming your real issue is
I don't want to check this file into version control.
Though you have not specified which version control you are using but if you are a GIT or SVN user, you need to add files/directories pattern in GIT ignore file or SVN ignore properties.

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 bought a new computer and installed Eclipse on it. After the ADT plugin finished downloading I tried to import my projects (composed of 4 sub-projects), but Eclipse doesn't see them!
I just click "import/general/import existing projects into workspace", select the folder containing the sub projects, hit the open button but Eclipse says "No projects found to import".
I'm using Eclipse Kepler and the projects files are directly taken from Eclipse Juno.
Eclipse need .project file to import the projects into workspace. what you can do is create a new project and copy the source and libraries into that project
Alternative method can be that create a new project and copy the .project file from that project to your project but make sure you edit the .project file and change the name of that project according to your project. read this for more information on .project file
http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fproject_description_file.html
I will suggest you to use the First method .
Make sure that you've tried to:
Refresh everything
Searched for Nested Items
Go to (In the libg-gdx setup) Advanced >> Check Eclipse
And if that doesn't work, add a .project file into the folder manually
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 a project that I am trying to add to my workspace. But eclipse cannot detect a new project in the directory I am pointing to.
How can I let eclipse know that a specific directory contains a project?
My directory contains:
assets
libs
res
src
bin
gen
AndoridManijest.xml
proguard.cfg
project.properties
You just have to do a Import->Existing Project into Workspace, and then browse to the location where the .classpath and .project files exists for your project.
For the new versions of Eclipse, it is File > Import > General > Existing projects into workspace
Like this
Importing existing projects
You can use the Import Wizard to command link import an existing project into workspace.
From the main menu bar, select command link File > Import.... The Import wizard opens.
Select General > Existing Project into Workspace and click Next.
Choose either Select root directory or Select archive file and click the associated Browse to locate the directory or file containing the projects.
Under Projects select the project or projects which you would like to import.
Click Finish to start the import.
This solution is for eclipse
I had a similar problem when I was cloning repositories from bit bucket from the command line, it would clones into the local repository. So the above solution did not work because it would say that the files were already in the local repository.
The solution:
1. Window > Show View > other > Git repositories
2. Right Click on the git repository tab > import projects
3. navigate to the repository you want to put into eclipse
4. select the third option 'import as general project', if selecting this does not work then view other options and select the option that applies to you
5. finish
if you cannot import project like some above solution, you should create new project has name procject like which procject you want to import. Remember to put your import project into workstation.
