My project was created and worked on under the Download directory but then I moved it to C: root directory.
Now when I open Eclipse and do File > Open Projects from File System it doesn't import the project at all. There is no error, it just doesn't show anything.
I am sure Eclipse is pointing to the new workspace.
Could it be that the project itself has some sort of reference to the old directory?
You can try File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace instead.

I want to import existing project in to my workspace. I import the project from files -> open project from file system. After showing the exact path and click finish. But the project is not showing in file explorer. Are there any reason for this?
It happened to me once when I had the same project already opened in the workspace.
If you're unsure about Eclipse's workspaces, check this page: What is a Workspace.
Could you check if the same project or a project with same name is already there?
Would you guys, please tell me how to import the existing maven project which we have copied from different user into my local and wanted to imported into new workspace not just project view vis but the content of project classes and pom.xml need to copy physically into my new workspace directory.
Means, if my current workspace location is : C:\ALL-PROJECTS\New-Project\ and my copied location of that project isC:\Downloads\Copied_Project\ so, i wanted to copy all code from copied loc : Copied_Project to my current workspace location : New-Project
So that in future i will going to keep one copy of it, going to delete copied location. And that will be more manageable in future onces we have many projects like this.
File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace
Click Next
Select root directory of project
Check project in Projects lists and check option Copy projects into workspace
Click Finish
Just copy that project to ur project location and import that from same location
You can import as usual but you have to leave all the meta data like .classpath and .project etc files because you changed the location of your project so these files having the physical location path which is already changed by you. So it will not work.
Else you just searched the old location inside all the files and replace with location and import into eclipse or IDE.
Your best bet for copying projects between different Eclipse workspaces is to export the project as a jar file
You can then take that exported project .jar file and import it into your new workspace using the Import Existing Projects into Workspace and selecting your archive (.jar) file
I don't know about other IDE But in eclipse this is how it is done
copy the project folder into your workspace folder
Make sure the project folder has pom.xml immediately under it .
open eclipse . your copied project will not be found unless you import it .
So Go to
File->import->Maven->Existing maven project
Then choose your project folder from explorer and follow the procedure your IDE takes you through
Finally right click on the project Go to maven->update project
Silly question, cant seem to get it to work.
https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/ mentions a Java project - available here on GIT - https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-rest-service.git and here directly - https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-rest-service/archive/master.zip .
When I try to import the zip, it fails. I tried to unzip and import selecting the root folder at source and it won't work.
How can I open this project in Eclipse and make my own changes?
Thanks.
Ensure that you are selecting "Existing Maven Project"
File > Import > Maven > Existing Maven Project
Point to the inflated directory and choose the pom.xmls
With Eclipse Neon, File > Open Projects from Filesystem... , select Archive and give location of your zip, click Finish.
I have imported Perforce Project to my local Drive and then i create workspace in Eclipse Luna, but when i try to import project using File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace then i select root directory of my project. Import wizard scans whole project and then gives me the warning
No projects are found to import. I know the project that i am importing does not have any .classpath and project file. Is there any straight forward way to import the project from Local directory ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Import Existing Projects will only import Eclipse projects - which always have a .project file.
To import something else you will first have to create an appropriate project in Eclipse with 'File > New > Project....'. Once you have the project you can use 'File > Import > File System' to import the project files in to your new project.
If it doesn't have .classpath and project files it's not an eclipse project. Import from filesystem.
I just wanted to edit a existing program (or project) where I have the source code folder (which has already java files, not class files... so I don't have to decompile that) of that. But how do I import that in Eclipse?
Screenshot:
You have a maven build file (pom.xml), then it's pretty easy: do a mvn eclipse:eclipse on the pom file. That will create a project at that location (iaw, it will create a .project and a .classpath file).
Then, simply import the project into a workspace.
With Neon: File > Open projects from filesystem.... With older versions or if you prefer it in Neon, File > Import > Maven > Existing Maven Projects.
