I want to add my existing dynamic web project into Eclipse workspace. I tried over google and found some usefuls but still its not done. I know one way is to create a new dynamic project and copy existing src folder and lib folder into new src and lib but the problem is where to keep jsp and vm. Can anyone please tell me how can i import existing dynamic web project into eclipse as i want to enhance it.
Thanx a lot
Open Eclipse, select File > New > Project
Select "Java Project from Existing Ant Build File"
Show your build file and write a project name

So for my class I need to use eclipse to do some graphics stuff in Java. I've tried both Eclipse standard 4.4 and Eclipse for Java developers, but with both when I tried to create a new Java project, the src folder is completely empty. Why is that?
Edit: I should add in more information. In the lab section of my class I was able to follow the instructions and create a lab 1 project src folder, which contains many files such as Lab1.java, Polygon1.java and all that. When I am trying to do it on my own machine, it's not working
Because it's a blank canvas!!
Right click on the src file New->Class
Give the new class a name and a package and you're away, you can start coding.
If you want to include libraries create a new lib folder at the same level as the src folder and copy any jar folders into this folder. Right click on the .jar files and click Bukd Path->Add to Build path, you'll now be able to import and classes contained in this jar file(s)!!!
Because you created a new project. If you haven't added any code yet, why would there be code in the src folder?
I created a new webapp project in Maven and noticed that the Java folder was not being created.
So, I created a new folder under src/main/java..The folders are listed in a nested format
ie;
src
main
java
When I noticed few other existing projects, I noticed its in the following structure
src/main/java
src/main/resources
What option needs to be enabled to change the setup?
Package Explorer / View Menu (Ctrl-F10) / Package Presentation... / Hierarchical
If you have the Maven Eclipse plugin, right click on the project and select Maven > Update Project Configuration. Then the source folders are selected and you have the flat structure within your Eclipse project like src/main/java.
Another way (without Maven plugin): Right click on the corresponding src directory and select Build Path > Use as Source Folder
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 am running Eclipse 3.7. I am currently working on a Plug-In Project for a Application called Team Center. I was recently made aware of a jar file of SWT Widgets named Opal. So I am trying to figure out how to add the Jar File to my existing project. I have tried many different ways to do this. Nothing has worked so far.
Here are some of the things I have tried.
Made a lib directory in my current project copied the jar file
Build Path Configure -> Libraries -> Added the Jar
Runtime tab -> Add -> selected the lib/jar file -> update build path
Saved
My project still compiles, but at runtime it fails and I get can't load proxied handler errors
I have tried to create a plugin project just for the Jar File, then add the opal plugin to required Plug-ins. If the Opal project is closed, that reflects with the Opal plugin in my project.
Here is the way my current project works. It is a plug-in project and when I finish or change code.
Build Project
Export
Deployable plug-ins and fragments
Select my project plug-in
Finish
Then I copy the project.jar to the TeamCenter Application plug-ins directory
I am assuming that somehow I have to include the opal.jar in the project.jar. But right now I am at a total lost on how to do it.
In Eclipse Plugin Project click on your MANIFEST.MF file and go to the runtime tab. There should be a section "Classpath". Try to add your lib there.
UPDATE
I've tried it and it has worked for me. I've executed following steps:
create new Plug-In project
create new lib folder in it
copy opal lib to the folder
open the MANIFEST.MF, go to the Runtime tab and add the lib to the Classpath section
check whether the lib folder is recognized of the build process (Build tab and lib folder should be checked)
Create new Run Configuration (Run -> Run Configuration... -> double click on OSGi Framework)
on Bundles tab check the new made project (Workspace section) and uncheck Target Platform for now
mark the new project and click on the button Add Required Bundles on the right side
now some needed bundles to run your project should be checked in the Target Platform section
click Apply, then Run and your OSGi env will be started
check build.properties in your plugin. check lib folder should be included there.
open plugin.xml or MANIFEST.MF in editor, you see build Tab. In the binary build, make sure your lib folder is checked.
I am on a mac, but I don't think it will make a difference. I have a directory that I want to fully import/add into Eclipse. What I did is this:
Right click import
General → Existing Projects into Workspace
Then when I click browse for either root directory or archive file and select the folder I can't click finish. The folder is empty and just contains a few folders but for some reason I can't click finish.
The Eclipse UI is a little bit confusing.
The Import -> "Existing projects into workspace" actually means import "Existing Eclipse projects into workspace". That's why you can't click on finish: the import option looks for a .project file (the file used by Eclipse to store the project options) in the directory that you have chosen.
To import existing source code that doesn't have an Eclipse project file you have the following options (I suppose that you want to create a Java project):
New project inside the workspace dir: Create a new empty Java project into the workspace (File->New->Java Project). Then right click on the source folder and choose Import...->General->File system then choose your files, and it will make a copy of your files.
Tip: you can drag&drop your files from the Finder into the src folder.
Create an eclipse project in your existing dir: Create a new Java project, but in the "New Java Project" window:
Un check the Use default location option, and choose the directory where is your non-Eclipse project.
Click Next and configure the sub-directories of your non-Eclipse project where the source files are located. And you are done :)
There is no need to create a Java project and let unnecessary Java dependencies and libraries to cling into the project. The question is regarding importing an existing directory into eclipse
Suppose the directory is present in C:/harley/mydir. What you have to do is the following:
Create a new project (Right click on Project explorer, select New -> Project; from the wizard list, select General -> Project and click next.)
Give to the project the same name of your target directory (in this case mydir)
Uncheck Use default location and give the exact location, for example C:/harley/mydir
Click on Finish
You are done. I do it this way.
These days, there's a better solution for importing an existing PHP project. The PDT plugin now has an option on the New PHP Project dialog just for this. So:
From File->New->PHP Project:
I Using below simple way to create a project
1- First in a directory that desire to make it project, create a .project file
with below contents:
<projectDescription>
<name>Project-Name</name>
<comment></comment>
<projects>
</projects>
<buildSpec>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
</natures>
</projectDescription>
2- Now instead of "Project-Name", write your project name, maybe current directory name
3- Now save this file to directory that desire to make that directory as project with name ".project" ( for save like this, use Notepad )
4- Now go to Eclips and open project and add your files to it.
For Spring Tool Suite I do:
File -> Open projects from File System
The thing that works best for me when that happens is :
Create a new eclipse project(JAVA)
Take your source file (contents of the src folder!!!) and drag from finder and drop into the src folder in eclipse IDE
Make sure you add your external jars and stuff and tada you're done!!
