I am complete new to talend and inherited some projects from someone who has left our company. I can not figure out how to open the job and edit it.
I downloaded and is running Talend DI.
When I try to import the project I get the message.
"Selected folder is not a Talend Open Studio project."
The project files have look like this. (- represents a folder)
-ProjectName
-lib
jobinfo.properties
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thank you
That might not be a complete project folder , but rather the result of someone selecting one or more jobs (in a project) and exporting them.
Try this
create a new project
open it
right click on jobs
import
navigate to the folder you mention as the source folder
see if it finds any items (jobs, contexts, meta data definitions etc) to import
for the sake of simplicity, import all available items into your newly created project
review the jobs and other imported items
In my case, I managed to import the project into the workspace from Talend studio as below.
Open Talend Studio -> Import an Existing Project ->Select -> Import Several projects -> Select Root Directory (Browse the Folder) -> you would be able to see the available projects (if the project folder is not corrupted)->Select the project checkbox -> Click on Finish

I have been using the text editor gedit and the terminal for my latest project but I find that I have so many classes it would be more useful to be working with a separate directory for my .class and .java files so I can see what is going on more easily.
Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to get eclipse to work with a project that has already been made (or even one that was already made on eclipse with another computer!). This was not such a problem with two or three classes but I am getting to have so many that it is really tedious- It seems to want me to build a completely new project or nothing.
EDIT (additional info):
I don't think it will be possible to show the code of the project as I current have 12 classes for it but by the end I may have one or two more...
I know how to make a project in eclipse. What I am not sure how to do it open a directory full of .java files in eclipse that were created using a text editor rather than in an eclipse project and get eclipse to accept it as a project.
Does anybody know how to achieve this task?
You can import your project into eclipse doing the following steps:
Create a new Java Project in Eclipse (By going to File -> New -> Java Project) select a name for the project and you can select finish
You have to import your existing code to eclipse, go to:
File -> Import -> General -> FileSystem
Then browse to the directory where your code is currently, and say you want to import into the project you created in step 1
Afterwards remember to go to the project properties (right click in the project folder while in the navigator view, for example) and make sure the java build path has the right source folders configured.
Fortunately, you can use eclipse for any project previously created. Do you possibly have the code to show us how you are applying to the project in eclipse?
For example, you can create a project and class, then copy over starting from public static void main(String[] args) {
down to the bottom, then import the important stuff above the main class name.
I followed following steps.
Start STS (Starts with default project named "Servers" already created)
right click package explorer, click on import -> General -> File System
Select directory -> Click Select All
After this step, I should be able to import my directory into "workspace", instead STS "forces" me to import file system to existing project.
Also, if I try to create a folder into top level workspace, STS does not allow me to do that as well.
I need to be able to import the whole directory into the workspace not a project.
You can only import filesystems into existing projects and you can only create folders in existing projects. The top-level is only for projects.
What you need to do first is create a new project with an external location that is rooted at the filesystem you want to import. The project will be created right there and automatically include all sub-folders.
Alternatively, if the root directory is already an eclipse project, do this:
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace -> Select root directory
This is a bit confusing that you can't import a bunch of files and folders as a project, but this is how Eclipse has worked since the dawn of time (I think time started in the year 2000).
I started with the default workspace C:\workspace but I mange to corrupt that by removing files so now I've created a new workspace to import the files to but I don't know how to do that. Could you tell me how I import projects from another workspace? I'm using the IBM RAD which is based on eclipse.
Thank you
Here are the steps for the original eclipse :
After switching eclipse to use the new workspace , go to File--> Import , and then choose General ---> Existing Projects into Workspace , and browse to the folder of the project that you want to import.
In Eclipse, the steps will be:
Select "File" tab
Select "Import" option in the drop down list.
Select "General" in the source listed.
Select "Archive File" if You have .zip/.rar file of the Project or "Existing Projects into Workspace" if You have Project in some other workspace.
Browse the Archive File or root directory location.
Select "Finish".
Now your project has been imported.
I am not very familiar with RAD but if its anything like Eclipse, the projects are stored by plugins. For ex: All my java related projects are stored under
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects
while my other projects related to another project (Seamframework related) are stored under
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.jboss.tools.seam.core/projects
The best thing would be to search your
workspace/.metadata/.plugins
folder and see if you can identify all your projects. When you do, you can import them all into your new workspace as is.
To import the projects, once you locate them, follow the instructions posted by others here.
Good Luck!
I don't know what went wrong, because this was working before, but all of the sudden I don't have any files in my eclipse package explorer.
The workspace path appears to be correct and the file permissions are correct.
Can anyone think of what's wrong?
Refresh the project
If that does not work, close and open the project again.
I had the same problem (Probably caused when I cancelled a copying to my Dropbox folder)
I only needed to click File → Import → General → Existing Projects into Workspace and select the missing projects in the window that appeared.
Workaround
Create a blank workspace
Navigate to (File > Switch to workplace > Other)
Clik Browse > Make new folder
Click Ok in browse window
Click ok in create workspace window
Import your existing project into the new workspace
Navigate to File > Import
Click General > Existing project into workspace
Click Next
Browse and select your previous project
Click on Finish
Congrats! Now you can see your project in the package explorer by importing it.
Project Explorer -> click on "View Menu"
-> Top Level Elements -> Click on "Projects"
Don't know what causes the problem, but found a way to get the files back into the package explorer.
If you go into the path of your workspace and find your projects, then you can pack them all into a zip archive file, and from this zip archive file you can import your projects again by using the File → Import → General → Existing Projects into Workspace menu.
I don't know what causes the problem, but in my case I think it have something to do with me having my workspace in a dropbox folder.
ps. I don't know if you actually can take more than one project into one zip file and make it work, I have only tried it with one project pr. ZIP-file, but it shouldn't matter.
In 2020 on OSX I just went to Project -> Refresh and wham! my files appeared.
I had started the wrong installation of eclipse. When I started the correct installation my code showed up fine. I have both C++ and Java EE installs.
Just refresh all the projects, you able to see all missed files after you import from a workspace.
1) Make sure that you use the right workspace.
2) Choose your "workspace"-Folder "/YourWorkspace",
NOT your project folder"/YourWorkspace/yourProject"
Alternatively delete your project from your
"YourWorkspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/PROJECTNAME/.location"
and restart.
Hope this helps
I had the same problem. I was not able to see the imported files in Eclipse, but there were visible in File Explorer.
After a while, I noticed that all the files were imported. They had their names changed from myFile.class to ._myFile.class.
I deleted all the imported files from my workspace by using File Explorer.
By using the same File Explorer, I copy-pasted the folders/files in the workspace.
Then in Eclipse, I refreshed the project (F5 or click-right -> Refresh or File -> Refresh)
I faced the same issue and the reason was that I choose double click on Eclipse Icon, then I need to choose Work Space.
Here I made mistake. You do not need to select folder in which has all your project files
e.g //Desktop//User//Selenium//S1A//all files related to project
In that case for workspace you choose //Desktop//User//Selenium, import your project by clicking Import for eclipse 2020 and choosing File path //Desktop//User//Selenium//S1A.
may be a rare case like in mine, but if you played with colors this may be an issue and especially, if you changed theming and did not restart, which may correct some problematic visual stuff.
Import>Existing Projects into Workspace> Select root directory> Select the folder
The solution that helped me:
create a new folder (=Java-Package) with a new name. I used the System-Filemanager.
copy the disappearing files to the new folder (=Java-Package).
correct the links (JavaCommand 'import') to the new folder.
delete the old files and the old folder.
As the problem happened in my case:
I am using Eclipse IDE 2021-12 (4.22.0) for my Java project.
After importing an existing Project into Workspace all was fine.
While building the project, same files disappeared from the 'Project Explorer'-Tree.
These files still do exist as the System-File-Explorer shows. So no file got deleted. But no more listed.
After Refresh (F5) most of the files got listed again in the 'Project Explorer'-Tree.
Without doing anything an Eclipse background process let files again disappear from the 'Project Explorer' - Tree. Compilation of the project leads to missing files.
Sometimes 3 files disappeared. Some seconds later more files disappeared. Sometimes it leads to an empty Java-Package.
This disappearance of some files happened without any input from me. It was done by the Eclipse background process. It felt like watching a movie.
What does not help in my case: Restarting of eclipse, Close and Open the project, editing the files.
In my case, the problem was due to an unwanted nested project in a subfolder. There is a pre-set filter that hides folders in that case.
For some reasons, the sub project was not shown in Project Explorer.
My solution :
delete the project (without deleting project contents on disk)
import existing projects into workspace, and do not import nested project.
You might have filtered the resource out of the project.
Select the project, right click, choose properties.
Under Resource, choose "Resource filters" - check that the name of the folder or the files was not filtered in the list under "Exclude all" (if there is one)
I've searched for 2 days and can't find anything. I find things that are close, but not what I need.
I got a new computer recently and copied all of my projects over to my new computer.
I opened Eclipse and generated a workspace, which I then closed out of Eclipse and copied my projects into the workspace/projects folder.
I reopen Eclipse and my projects do not show up at all in the package explorer.
I know that I have the correct folders in the correct directory.
The closest thread I found to this is: Eclipse - Import an existing project?
but even that didn't help, my projects already meet that...
I have tried refreshing, reopening, fooling with working sets, etc...
Just because you have a project inside the workspace directory doesn't mean Eclipse opens it or even sees it automatically. You must use File - Import - General - Import existing project into workspace to have your project in Eclipse.
For Juno: (With Source in E:\workspace and destination in C:\workspace)
Copy project directory in its entirety to the workspace directory.
(e.g. Copy E:\workspace\HelloWorld C:\workspace\helloWorld)
Start Eclipse.
Perform: File --> Import
Select: General -- > "Existing Project into Workspace"
"Next >"
Check "Select root Directory"
Select with "Browse Button"
Select "C:\workspace"
A list of existing projects will appear. Just check the ones that are in Bold (To Be Imported) then press the "Finish" button.
Review the Package Explorer and your copied projects should now be there.
This problems comes while .metadata of current workspace has been corrupted due to shut down Eclipse Unexpectedly. So if you face this problem just do the following steps:
Create a new workspace.
Import your existing projects to your new workspace.
you made it!
I had the same problem over and over again the solution that a have found works for now
Close Eclipse.
go to workspace.metadata.plugins
remove org.eclipse.core.resources
Start Eclipse
Do File->Import
General->Existing Projects into Workspace and import all the project from the workspace
Netbeans allows you to do a simple filecopy.
As you know, Eclipse doesn't work like that. You must explicitly "import" files and projects.
If you do import, and if there are no problems, then they should show up.
I'd consider:
a) making a backup of your existing workspace
b) deleting and reinstalling Eclipse
c) Trying another "test import"
You put them in the workspace/projects folder. You should put them directly in the workspace folder and then do an Import Existing Projects into workspace.
in Eclips the Package Explorer
Right click on any viewable project and select Show in -> Project Explorer
Package Explorer -> Right click -> Show in ->Project Explorer
you should be able to see all the imported projects in your Eclipse workspace
Even I had also observed the similar problem. I had closed my eclipse project because of some reason and on restart some of my file added were not visible in explorer even though corresponding file were existing.
Following solution worked for me:
Select whole workspace (Ctrl+A) ==> Righ click and press Refresh.
Or you could try:
Go to File -> Switch Workspace
Select your workspace (if shown)
As I had imported my project from a "git clone", I had to select File->Import-> Git->Project from git -> Existing local repository
Here's a specific problem I ran into when downloading a project from the internet.
Make sure you unzip correctly if it's zipped, you can sometimes get an extra level.
Make sure you place the project in the project file, not directly in workspace.
See if .project and .classpath have been renamed to _project and _classpath. You can't rename them directly so open a text document called .classpath and paste _classpath 's contents in there, saving as all files, not a .txt. _classpath can be opened with notepad.
Import the project from the file workspace. It will look for a folder called projects, your's should be inside it.
Hope this helps :)
The following worked for me.
Create a new project in eclipse.
After creating a new project in
eclipse, right click and select import.
General Import > File System
Select all the folders under your project except the root one. Click
finish.
This would create the required meta data and other internal eclipse project file system which will display your project's files.
You can also import the project directly as a file system. Follow the above steps if you are unable to import it directly.
Hi i also come across same problem, i try many options ,but finally the most easy way is,click of down arrow present inside ProjectExplorer-> customize View->filter-> unchecked close project.
And will able to see all closed projects.
I have tried many of the option suggested but at last importing project in new workspace solved my problem.
I think there is some problem in metadata files in old workspace.
I just wish to add one important detail to the answers above. And it is that even if you import the projects from your chosen root directory they may not appear in bold so you won't be able to select them. The reason for this may be that the metadata of the projects is corrupted. If you do encounter this problem then the easiest and quickest way to fix it is to rid yourself of the workspace-folder and create a new one and copy+paste your projects (do it before you erase the old workspace) folders to this new workspace. Then, in your new worskapce, import the projects as the previous posts have explained.
Yeah.... i kinda see what you need. I just came across same problem.
Here is exactly what i did. Now, bear in mind, this some low level knowledge, since i'm just starting. I made my life complicated, so i needed solution. I kinda found it on my own, using different directions from above answers.
I switched from win 10 on HDD to linux on SSD, so i needed my few of .class and .java imported into new workspace.
First i made a mistake, not using export option on windows and i just simply copied all of files from src and bin folders on win 10 to src and bin folders on linux. Of course workspace did not see those files.
Solution was found in IMPORT tool (which i should have used right away).
I put all of files in src folder into zipp file, and moved this file to some arbitrary folder (Home folder in my case).
Go back to src folder and delete all of .java files (you won't be needing them anymore).
Then i opened my empty project and selected import from File menu in Eclipse.
In import window, under option General (first one) select Import Archive.
Now simply find your zip file, and Voila! All is where it should be.
Problem: After creating a PyDev Project, the project does not show up in "PyDev Package Explorer" ;(
Solution: This is what I do to see them all in "Project Explorer":
I am using Eclipse IDE 2019-12
click on "Resource" icon at the top right corner
Now you shall see all projects show up in "Project Explorer".
Tricky note: now if you click on "PyDev" icon, you will see less projects show up in "PyDev Package Explorer" Magic?
What I did wrong about it, I used "import" - > "Projects from Folder or Archive" because I thought it would be the same thing. You have to use "Existing Projects into Workspace". Maybe this helps someone.
I experienced the same issues and I just click on Window -> Show view -> then Project explorer.
Then I got my project that was inside my eclipse workspace.
