I have imported an eclipse project to my workspace. While importing,I forgot to select "copy to workspace"check box. But now, I want those projects to be in workspace. Is there any way to achieve this without importing again.
Right click on your project in Package Explorer, Refactor, Move and select target location for your project.

When opening Eclipse the project version is not the current one(it automatically opens the very beginning version of the project, not the current files on my drive).
I tried modifying the refresh settings in Preferences->Workspace, no luck. Also, when I right click->Refresh the project nothing happens.
I am using the last version of Eclipse Luna and the PyDev perspective.
have you tried go File then Switch Workspace e selected the right one? (even if ther is only one)
Some time it happend to me, maybe when i have eclipse opened and i click again on the eclipse startup app it ask me "load new workspace..." and it messup all
Try to look that its clearly the Workspace you would to use.
Do you have different Workspaces?
Try to check the location of the project.
Right-click on the project in Package Explorer and select "Properties"
Select "Resources" on right side and check the location.
If the location is wrong, try to import the right one using method as follows:
Right-click in Package Explorer and select "Import"
Select General->Existing Projects into Workspace and import the project.
I'm trying to open files and run applications from folders that are not in the Package Explorer tab. I'm trying by using the File/Import/General/File System... I then select the folder, but the Finish button is still disabled!?
Is this not the correct way or is there a better way to open projects from other placeses than Package Explorer Tab?
Go to File>import>General - Select Existing project into workspace
Select project folder, uncheck copy project into workspace click finish. Note: Project must be a valid project.
You can only import a folder which contains Eclipse project specific files like .project etc. This way Eclipse knows it is a project.
I'm trying to open an existing Android project in Eclipse. I've gone to File > Import > General > Existing Project (or something like that). I've chosen the file project folder. But every time I try to open the folder, all I get is an error.
Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace*
Is there any other way of opening my project?
You cannot import a project with a name already present in your current Eclipse workspace.
The surest way to work around that is to switch workspace (menu File / Switch workspace), and create a new workspace (in which you will be able to import that project).
A more complex solution would be to try and rename an existing project in your current workspace.
Check other causes in:
"Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace error in Eclipse"
"Erased project from Project Explorer and cannot re-import it"
"How to import a project which you just deleted in eclipse"
I faced the same issue, But it is as designed. When people close the project, It simply makes the project unavailable in the eclipse project view. This is why people thinks that it has been completely removed from the view.
So All you have to do is to go to
Window -> Show view -> Project Explorer
Now you will see your project in the Project Explorer sidebar with a different closed folder Icon as shown in this image.
Once you right click and open project you will see the magic you are looking for.
I had the same problem and I solved it finally.
So, lets say you want to open "TEST" project on eclipse. And you project is in this path: C:\Users\Sabina Comp\Desktop then your workspace should be C:\Users\Sabina Comp\Desktop not C:\Users\Sabina Comp\Desktop\TEST.
You can switch workspace by going to File->Switch workspace->other
I hope it will help you!
Just delete the .project file and try to open the project again in Eclipse File Explorer :)
I faced the same problem. Maybe the cause of your problem is as simple as mine.
I closed (not delete) my project in the Java Browsing view. Unlike the Java view, the project becomes invisible in the Java Browsing view. So I thought I deleted the project. But turns out my project is still in use when I try to import it.
So I went to Java Browsing view and right click the blank space in the Projects panel, click Open Project and the project is back!
Right click on a working set --> properties.
You should be able to see all the projects that are available in your workspace. Select it.
Next all the projects should be listed in your working set.
Here's what worked for me:
Right click on the project > Source > Format
I guess you want to create a copy of the existing project and make changes to the new one. Or you have got a project whose name matches the name of the existing project and you want to import the new project as well.
In the first case , you just need to simply copy(Ctrl+C) and paste(Ctrl+P) in the package or project explorer in the eclipse and it will ask you for a new project name -- rather than copying the project folder in the windows explorer and renaming the project folder name.
If you have copied the project in windows explorer and tried importing the project in eclipse you will get the above error Or if u have got a project whose name matches the name of the existing project in eclipse also you will get the above error.
Solution for both -- is to delete the .project , .classpath and .settings files and import the project. It will successfully import if u have changed the folder name.
Tip: If its a maven project , you can import it as a Java Project and then RightClick on the project and Configure->Convert To maven project.
In my case, problem was -
I deleted the code directory from its location.
And at the same time I closed Eclipse.
So when I reopened Eclipse, it searched for project and couldnt get it.
I restored the code directory at original place.
Opened Eclipse.
When tried to import project again I found it in closed condition.
I opened it and it started working properly.
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 imported an Eclipse project into workspace and after some time I deleted it in Eclipse (from project explorer but not from workspace). Now, I want to reopen it, or import it again, but I cannot import it because such a project already exists in the workspace and when I try to open it, in tab Project -> Open Project, it is disabled. Of course, I can delete the project from workspace and import it again, but this is not what I want. So the question is: how can I open the project, which is in Eclipse's workspace, but has been deleted from the Eclipse's project explorer?
This is exactly what I just ran into. The 'Finish' button is greyed out, as is the check box and project name in the project window. If you try to check that check box the project will not be greyed now, but it won't check. Refresh does nothing.
The trick (or is it a bug) is to uncheck 'copy projects into workspace' hit the refresh button and it will now be checked and you can hit the finish button. Project will now once again be available in the Package Explorer.
(I'm using Eclipse 3.8 and ADT 21.0.1)
These Steps You Have to Follow
Click File menu
In file menu click Import
A window is open Now click General Folder
Now click Existing project into workspace
Then click the select from root directory
Now import project which you want......
You have to choose the project in the workspace, not the zip file with your project. Your project is still in your workspace, and because Eclipse wants to copy the project from the zip file you chose (look at the checked check box "Copy projects into workspace"), you get that warning.
Just select "Select root directory" and choose your workspace as your root directory and choose the project you want to reimport (and make sure, that the checkbox "Copy projects into workspace" is not checked).
Go to “%ECLIPSE_HOME%\configuration.settings” and delete the workspace listed at the key RECENT_WORKSPACES
Restart Eclipse, go to File>Switch Workspace>Other… and select your workspace dir again
Now I could create new projects as always
One simple trick is to delete the project from your work-space directory manually and than try to import project again. That's it...
I've experienced this same problem. It was a deleted workspace which I re-imported. When I tried to work with junit tests in the directory, it said that parts of if were not in the "project" In order to fix this, I had to check the "SEARCH FOR NESTED PROJECTS" and that corrected the issue.
I know that this is a really old question, possibly the solution was not available back then, but on my system (Eclipse Photon 4.8.0) it works like this:
File menu
Open Projects from File System...
Here you can give Eclipse a path to a directory (in this case your own, currently used workspace directory) where it will search for possible projects, list them and let you choose which one to import into the workspace. It will show already imported (aka. existing inside Eclipse) projects grayed out and unselectable, but has an option to hide these as well.
After selecting the project you'd like to import just click the Finish button and voila.
Make sure that your project is included in current workspace, then you have to see the project under "Project Explorer".
Note: you can view this from: Window->Show View->Project Explorer.
If you are facing this:
Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace --> "Finish" button is grayed --> hence, no way to open the project(s)
Solution:
Go to File -> Open File...
Choose any one file of your project, and the entire project folder will open in your present workspace.
