| No more visual class after importing project [message #502092] |

I created a Java project on a computer with Eclipse. This project contains visual classes creted through the visual editor.
In order to work on a second computer, I copied all the files in the eclipse workspace, and imported the copied directory (File -> Import -> Existing project into workspace).
After the import, the formerly visual classes are only simple java classes.
Is it a known bug (I didn't find any info) ?
Do anybody know how to correct this ?
As I am a newcomer to this forum, I hope the information is sufficient.
I use :
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.5.1
Build id: M20090917-0800
OS: Linux Linpus
Visual Editor version 1.4.0.v20090826-1446-777N-CcNBC0BwNk5HZZk
Thx for help !

My guess is that the new workspace doesn't know to open the java files
as visual classes. There are two editors involved with visual classes.
The standard Java editor and the Visual editor. The default editor
for a java file is the standard Java editor. If a workspace has never
opened a java file before, it will use the standard Java editor. You
have to specify to open the file in the Visual editor in order to change
the default for that file.
Right click on the java file you want to open in the Visual editor,
select Open With, and then select Visual Editor. The workspace
remembers the last editor used on a file. You can switch back to using
the Java editor by using Open With. In fact, you can have the file
opened in both editors simultaneously.
