I'm trying to import existing Cake 1.2 projects into PHP Eclipse (latest all-in-one download on Galileo build) - I don't think I understand Eclipse properly:

1) I have created Workspace on my web root C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs 2) I have created new Project C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\EclipseCake

... how do I import my existing cake project into my new project (EclipseCake) ?

I tried Configure Include Path -> Project -> Add ... but no file browser appears. I'm obviously misunderstanding this.

A: 

There's an "Import" in the menu if you right click the new project's name.What you need to do is click it and choose "Filesystem" and click "next" button.You may read this tutorial about eclipse.

In my version I click Import, then select General, then choose Filesystem. This imports the files into the project. I have also seen that if I right click the new project, choose Build Path and then Link Source, I can link my files into the project without them being copies - ie, remaining in the original directory.
