Import web site into eclipse [message #217651]

I am using eclipse 3.4 JEE. I have existing web sites that I want to
use in Eclipse. I can't figure out how to succeed. Any hints?

If I create a static web project, but set the web content folder to
blank (to prevent it from writing on my site), the project is created
but it does not allow Run On Server. I don't think its a real JEE static
web project.

I looked at Import File System, but this is a thing that wants to copy
files (I already have them where I want them).

I know that eclipse itself does not care, I have in the past added and
deleted project natures on projects. Its just that the current UI does
not support it.

John.

More confusing info: I can get my project listed under Servers > HTTP
Preview, but when I try Run On Server on my index.html I get "The
selection did not contain any resources that can run on a server". Which
is silly.

Tracing through the source I found ModuleArtifactAdapter which I think
means WorkspaceResourceToServerResourceAdapter. Google on that lead to:

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/components/server/runOnS erver.html

where we learn
If the object cannot be adapted, an error message will be displayed
(this should never happen unless an external plugin provides enablement
but not adapting for an object).

Wish I had a nickel for every thing that should never happen but does...
