How to import existing project into Workplace in Eclipse?

Question

I am trying to follow Eclipse instructions to create a Hello World SWT application. I have the following instruction:

Import the SWT project from the main menu via File > Import..., and select Existing Projects into Workspace. Specify the archive file you downloaded and click Finish. This will create the org.eclipse.swt project which we will need to compile and run the application.

I have troubles with that. In the "File" menu I see "Import...". When I click the "Import...", I do not see "Existing Project into Workspace". Instead of that I see "Select an import source:" after which I see a text field. After that I see a field with the following folders: General, CVS, Run/Debug, Tasks, Team, XML.

Can anybody help me with that, pleas?

Answer 1

If you expand the 'General' node (folder) you will see 'Existing projects into workspace' as an option. Select that and click on Next.

Answer 2

You need to expand General.

Eclipse has the wonderful search functionality on most of its important screens. Even if you don't know where exactly it is, you can type it and it appears. In this case type "Existing" into the text field above the list and you'll see what you are looking for.
