How to import an already checked out svn repository into Eclipse?

Question

Hi,

I have a svn repository I have checked out and have in my local hard disk. Now, how do I import this into Eclipse? When I choose File->Import and choose SVN, there is only an option to checkout a project from the server again. File->New project seems to be for projects we are creating new projects from scratch. Kindly point out the option for what I need...

Thanks, Sundar

"Import..." the existing project then "Share..." the project. The Subversive (or SubClipse) client will realize that the project has a .svn folder and reattach to the repository.
