Next, I create a project named "Book2". I right click on the Book2 folder in Package Explorer and select General->Archive File. I then browse to the directory where I've previously downloaded Lowe's Book 2.zip file for his Book2 examples and select "Finish". The result of what I get is in the attachment.

Lowe did not provide Eclipse projects. You will have to create them
yourself. The format your illustration shows is ill-suited to actual
Java projects.
I would suggest that before tackling JAIOFD, you learn how to use
Eclipse and I would suggest the first two or three tutorials at this link:
