Unfortunately, I've deleted a major project I was working on in Eclipse, but I did have a .jar file from a previous build lying around, so I decompiled this using JD-GUI, and now I'm stuck with a NewSkills.src folder filled with .java files.
How can I put this back into my eclipse project, so that I can edit it once again and continue on my project?
Thanks for the help!
U could just move the file to ur eclipse workspace and if that doesn't work there should be a way to create a new project from existing file.

I imported a git folder https://github.com/TeamLapen/Vampirism.git ((If you were wondering)). And so now I have it within my eclipse workspace, but not "really". Here's what I mean: The project shows up in the tree on the left of the eclipse window, but the folder itsself is NOT located in the /workspace/ like the other projects.
All I did in the code was change a few lines to fix a bug, as is highlighted below.
Anyways, when I go to export the file (File > Export > Jar), a few things happen:
In the box on the left, you see the project name is "Vampirismx". In the middle box, you see that the project is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT. In the right box, you see the only files "available" for export are the classpath and project files.
Can someone help me?
Tl;dr
I imported an eclipse project from git. When trying to export it, the project isn't showing up.
looking at the git repository, it does not provide eclipse project settings, and indicates only step by step instructions for intelliJ.
So when you imported it into eclipse, you have it on your workspace like a plain project, not a java one and that is why trying to export it as JAR does not shows up.
You must indicates that the project is a java project and it should work.
also, i'm not familiar with gradle, but seams there is a goal for settings things in eclipse : https://github.com/TeamLapen/Vampirism#setting-up-vampirism-in-another-environment
Just by a mistake I had deleted a spring project in STS.To use it back I borrowed the same project from my friend in zip format but when I tried to import it says
Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace
Following is the way I tried to import
file->import->general->existing projects into worspace->select archive file
and after browse when I select the zip project
Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace
and the finish button and next button are in disabled state.Please help me
The workspace in STS/Eclipse is not automatically the same as the file structure that you have on disc in your workspace directory. You can have projects in this workspace folder or somewhere else on disc.
To get them into your project explorer (and access them from inside STS/Eclipse), you need to import them (Import Existing Projects into Workspace). Then you can select the folder where those projects are located in. In case you have those projects already in your workspace folder on disc, you can choose the workspace folder as root folder in the wizard. It will show all the projects that exist on disc in that folder and grey those out that are already imported/referenced in your workspace in Eclipse.
Make sure it is really not in workspace, also if there aren't any other projects with the same name. If not, just delete the .metadata folder or create a new workspace.
Check if you still have the project in folder of the workspace on disk. You may have deleted in STS, without checking 'Delete on disk'. So, the project may be still there in the workspace folder though its deleted in STS.
I get this issue from time to time. Usually I just open a new workspace but sounds like you don't want to loose other projects.
I simply open the.project file in my project and change the name of the project in name tag.
Good Luck!
Probably whey you 'accidentally deleted' your project, you only deleted it from the Eclipse workspace, but not from the actual workspace folder on your hard-drive (as other people pointed out, Eclipse can arbitrarily map workspace projects to files on disk, so it is possible for a project to be 'deleted' from your Eclipse workspace but still exist on disk.
The good news is the files you deleted are actually still there.
Instead of importing your project from a zip, you may just want to import those files from the workspace folder back into your Eclipse workspace.
Generally this kind of problems not occurred you can go to Project option and clean and than restart STS.
May be STS is not synched with the latest configured project.
When you launch Spring Tools Suite, it will ask you to Select directory as workspace as below:
If the directory you selected here (i.e., workspace directory) is the same as the directory where the project that you are going to import resides, then you will get Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace.
Therefore, to solve the issue,
Close Spring Tool Suite
Create a new directory
Launch Spring Tool Suite again
And, select that as your workspace
Launch the application and you would be able to import as you mentioned in your question
It solved my problem.
Hope it helps..
Happy Coding!!
the problem is that when you delete a project maybe sts only close it.
Try View Menu --> uncheck closed projects
Now you will see all closed project, simply delete it.
I read this article which shows how to import/export projects in Eclipse (although it seems a little outdated and I'm using 3.7 Indigo).
To export a project, you go to File >> Export and it creates some kind of "project archive" file on the local file system. You could then email it to someone else, who could then import the archive as a new project or into an existing project.
But what if you don't have an "archive" file to begin with?!? What if you just have the project files and directories but without all the Eclipse-metatdata (.project file, etc.)? Is there anyway to tell Eclipse to look at, say:
/home/myuser/some/path/to/project/root/
src/main/java
SomeObject.java
build.xml
...and get it to read that as a new Java project?
Try the steps below:
Create a Java Project in Eclipse as below:
Load the project contents from your file system as below:
Hope this works for you.
.project and .classpath files are the base of the project structure. Without a .project file Eclipse won't recognize your project. The .classpath is important too but that one changes between environments. Should you use the files from another environment you'll have to reconfigure some settings.
Rather than emailing code, I suggest you use a Version Control system and, also, some Eclipse plugins. SVN + Subclipse for example.
If you trully want to send the project to another person just send him the project's folder and import it as an existing project by doing right click on the project explorer and selecting Import > Existing Project into workspace.
I want to create an Android project that contains some code, and then export that code as a .jar file to use it on another Android project.
I've already tried to create an Android project and set it as a library in the properties, and then export the project as a jar file. Aparently everything works fine, when I use my .jar file as a user library in another Android project my code inside the .jar is visible and everything compiles fine. But when I run my application it closes and say that it could not find the classes inside the .jar file.Any sugestions will be very appreciated!Thanks in advance.
Look at Project->Properties->Java Build Path->Order and Export. Make sure your jars are exported as well as imported.
Make sure your JAR is in the libs/ directory of the project using the JAR, and that it is in your build path in Eclipse.
I have an interesting problem. I pull down an android project from cvs, which works fine. Once Eclipse builds the project, my .java files are removed. XML files, pngs, everything else is fine. I seem to be left with just the package tree, but no source files. Any thoughts?
Right click on the project
Properties
Java Build path
Source
Check that the src folder path is correct.
