I notice that any class not found in eclipse after ctrl+shift+t push.
I notice that I cannot see files, that expose so:

How to mark file as source code file in Eclipse?
You need to make the directory as Source Folder in order to make Eclipse treat files as source
You can find the setting in project properties.
Create Source Folder in your Project and copy your source code in there. Follow following steps:
Right click on your project.
select New
create source folder.
Or could it be, that you need to tick the Label Decorations in Preferences->Appearance->Label Decorations "Java Type Indicator"?

I have downloaded some source code that contains src folders with some .java files. I want to try to run the code in netbeans.
This is the structure of the folder :
C4.5/src/main/java/myc45/
and in these folder include some .java files.
What should I do first?
When you create a project in Netbeans, one of the options in the project creation window is create project from existing source. If you have an existing project, you can also edit the project properties and tell it what the source folders are.
As an alternative to #PaulJAbernathy 's solution:
create a new project in Netbeans
via the projects windows, create a package myc45 (the package name used in the code you want to import) - you can do so by rightclicking, new Package
now, inside the src directory of your project directory you'll find a directory called myc45. Drop the source files into that directory using whatever file browser you commonly use. You'll see that Netbeans picks up the files almost immediately in the project explorer.
you can now use the code.
A bit messy, but there are advantages: if eg you want to transform a bunch of existing code files into a Maven type project, this is probably the easiest way.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Normally I can choose "New Java Class" but for some reason I'm not getting this option. I created this project by opening an empty directory and building it out from there. I've seen this question, but that answer didn't help me. Here's my module settings:
Even if I open my pom.xml directly as a project, it still has this problem. How do I fix this?
The directory or one of the parent directories must be marked as Source Root (In this case, it appears in blue).
If this is not the case, right click your root source directory -> Mark As -> Source Root.
For some reason, intellij didn't recognize my directories as packages. If I created something directly from the java directory, it would give me the correct options. I fixed this by deleting everything under java/ and recreating it. This may be an intellij bug.
This happened when I was trying to add classes to a generated package using xjc plugin.
Intellij allows to add classes only to packages which are correctly names and have the "source root" status.
Can be fixed as-> right click on the directory where you're not able to add classes:
Mark sources root
refer image for clarity
This worked for me :
Right click the java folder (myproject/src/main/java)
Click "Mark Directory as"
Click "Source Root"
Right click the myproject folder (myproject/src/main/java)
Click "Mark Directory as"
Click "Source Root"
So basically had to mark some inner folder as Source project and alter mark parent project again as Source project..
Hacky way but this worked for me.
I downloaded an API but there is no jar file in it. It has the packages(folders) and the source code. I tried adding this in various ways in Eclipse but still I don't get the "import ...." when I press F2 on the underlined red classname. I have added projects and Jars in Eclipse all the time and it has worked. Since this is the source code should I take any extra steps in order to make it work?
Regards!
If the source is available to you (.java files) you must create a new source folder, then copy the source tree (root package e.g. the folder com or org) into the new source folder just by using a standard file explorer and copy&paste:
Edit: You could add the source files to your existing source folder as well, but I'd avoid that. Best solution would be to create a separate Java project containing just the source files of the external library. You also need proper code management, so that you do not accidentially make changes to the external source files!
You may create jar from the classes you have received in API packaging and place that jar into the classpath of the project
Enjoy !!!
I've got a copy of a java package, with example implementation. The package is in a structure called com.java.project (folders, containing myriads of .java files) and there's also a few example files (example1.java, example2.java)
The example files have 'import com.java.project' calls in them, that's all well and good. However, I can't seem to work out how to get Eclipse finding the package contents (currently returns "Type not found" for any calls to the project objects.
I've tried placing the com structure in the same level as my example1.java, but that doesn't work. I have read that I need to compile the package into a .jar to get it to work w/Eclipse, but that doesn't seem to want to behave, none of the files compile.
In Eclipse you can right click on the Project Explorer and select "New -> Java Project"
Then you can import your java files by right clicking your project, selecting import from file system. If the class file shows an error, open the class file, the class name should have red curly braces, click on the error tick mark and Eclipse will give you an option to move the file to the correct package which in turn creates the folder structure for you.
1.Can you do a check on the build path of your Java project? (Right-click the project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Source tab), and see if the root folder contains the code is properly specified here.
2.Maybe a Project->Clean will help as well.
Hii,
Just Create a new project with File -> New menu
you need to open Java Perspective and there you will find a package named "src" you need to copy your "com" directory and paste it at the src folder.
I hope this will work for you.
I have created several .java files. All of them are located in one directory. I used a text editor to write these files. Now I want to switch to Eclipse. How can I do it? I have tried many ways. None of them works.
ADDED:
I think the common way is to have source in the eclipse folder called "workspace". So, how do I get my files in these directory. Should I use eclipse to create a new project from existing source and Eclipse will put all file to the workspace? Or I should manually copy all my files to the workspace? Where should I put my class files than? Should I create a subdirectory? With which name?
ADDED 2:
When I try to create a project with name "game", the eclipse writes me that a project with such name already exist. But how can I open this project?
ADDED 3:
In my "workspace" I have created a subdirectory called "game". I copied all my .java file into this subdirectory. Then with Eclipse I created a new project with the name game. As a result, Eclipse created .classpath and .project files in the directory "game". It also created bin and src subdirectories. And now I think it is not the correct way to go. The source files are supposed to be in the "src" directory. Right? And at the moment all my .java files are in the "workspace\game".
ADDED 4:
I did it other way around. With Eclipse I have created a new project with the name "game". As the result, Eclipse created a folder called "game" into folder "workspace". In "game" the folder I found "src" folder. I copied all my .java files into this folder. But now in the "Package Explorer" I cannot open "src" folder. So, how can I access my source files from Eclipse? Why Eclipse does not want to open the "src" folder?
Easiest Method:
Put all source files into one directory named after your project. i.e. "ProjectName" You can keep this directory in your workspace or it can be somewhere else.
Start a new project in eclipse and name it using that same project name.
Uncheck the "use default location" box and find the directory where your project is unless your project is already in the workspace - then you must not uncheck the "use default location" box
Click 'next'.
Eclipse should be smart enough to figure out what's going on. After clicking next, it will show you all of the files it found in that directory. It will just automatically add those files to your project. Voilà!
Right-click in the package explorer and select New - Java Project
Create the new project Game
Open the new project in the package explorer - you should see only the source folder called src (there's nothing inside yet)
Open a file Explorer (e.g. Windows Explorer) and drag your sources
Drag them to Eclipse and drop them inside the new src folder - if asked select "Copy files"
Eclipse should put the files into the default package, if that's not correct you can edit the offending files (marked with a red cross) by opening them in Eclipse, selecting the package declaration (usually line 1), pressing Ctrl + 1 and selecting the appropriate option (e.g. "Move xy to package com.game"
This answer is going to be for the question
How to create a new eclipse project and add a folder or a new package into the project,
or how to build a new project for existing java files.
Create a new project from the menu
File->New-> Java Project
If you are going to add a new pakcage, then create the same package name here by
File->New-> Package
Click the name of the package in project navigator, and right click, and import...
Import->General->File system (choose your file or package)
this worked for me I hope it helps others.
Thank you.
The easiest method is really good but you don't get a standard Java project, i.e., the .java and .class files separated in different folders.
To get this very easily:
Create a folder called "ProjectName" on the workspace of Eclipse.
Copy or move your folder with the .java files to the "ProjectName" folder.
Create a new Java Project called "ProjectName" (with the Use default location marked).
Press <Enter> and that's it.
There are two things
1- If its already a Eclipse Project, then simply go to File->Import->General->Existing Project into Workplace
2- Otherwise define project type e.g. Java, Web etc
Create a new project of type you define into your workplace. Copy Paste source , lib and other necessary files. refresh, compile and run project in eclipse.
In the package explorer and the navigation screen you should now see the project you created. Note that eclipse will not copy your files, it will just allow you to use the existing source and edit it from eclipse.
There are several ways to add files to an existing Java project in Eclipse. So lets assume you have already created the Java project in Eclipse (e.g. using File -> New -> Project... - and select Java project).
To get Java files into the new project you can do any of the following. Note that there are other ways as well. The sequence is my preference.
Drag the files into the Navigator view directly from the native file manager. You must create any needed Java packages first. This method is best for a few files in an existing Java package.
Use File -> Import... - select File System. Here you can then select exactly which files to import into the new project and in which Java package to put them. This is extremely handy if you want to import many files or there are multiple Java packages.
Copy the fires directly to the folder/directory in the workspace and then use File -> Refresh to refresh the Eclipse view of the native system. Remember to select the new project before the refresh.
The last one is what you did - minus the refresh...
While creating a project from a full folder may or may not work within the workspace, there's a condition outside of the workspace that prevents starting a new project with a full folder.
This is relevant if you use numerous folder locations for sources, for example an htdocs or www folder for web projects, and a different location for desktop Java applications.
The condition mentioned occurs when Eclipse is told to create a new project, and given a full folder outside the workspace. Eclipse will say the folder isn't empty, and prevent creating a new project within the given folder. I haven't found a way around this, and any solution requires extra steps.
My favorite solution is as follows
Rename the full folder with an appended "Original" or "Backup.
Create the Eclipse project with the name of the full folder before the folder was renamed.
Copy all the relabeled full folders contents into the new project folder.
Eclipse should make a new project, and update that project with the new folder contents as it scans for changes. The existing sources are now part of the new project.
Although you had to perform three extra steps, you now have a backup with the original sources available, and are also able to use a copy of them in an existing project. If storage space is a concern, simply move/cut the source rather than fully copy the original folder contents.
If you creating a new project based on an existing Maven structure :
Create the project using a general project wizard and give the project the same name as just created.
If you try to create the project as a Maven project via m2e will receive an error that project/pom already exists.
Create a new project..
Right Click on your project..
Select Build path --> Configure Build Path
Under source tab choose link source, your .java files containing folder..
I am suggesting this since none of the methods that you tried have worked ---FYI
Follow this instructions from standard eclipse docs.
From the main menu bar, select command link File > Import.... The Import wizard opens.
Select General > Existing Project into Workspace and click Next.
Choose either Select root directory or Select archive file and click the associated Browse to locate the directory or file containing the projects.
Under Projects select the project or projects which you would like to import.
Click Finish to start the import.
