Import java project into eclipse

Question

I just downloaded a Google App Engine sample Java project. I am trying to import it into eclipse. If I chose file/import/existing projects into workspace, and navigate to the appropriate directory, it doesn't find any projects. I'm speculating this means that dotmatrix is not an Eclipse project. How can I import it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There need to be a .project file for the project properly configure. Do one thing. Create a project to have that file and put this file in your google project dir with appropriate configuration.

Project you are trying to import doesn't seem like Eclipse Project. You can still use this project in Eclipse as Java project by following these steps:

• Open Java Perspective in Eclipse.
• Right Click in Package explorer pane and select New >> Java Project.
• Give appropriate name to your Project and click the option that says "Create project from existing sources."
• Select root dir of project downloaded and click finish.

Note: You may need to configure source folders, library and other build paths to complete setup.
