Unable to find 'Create project from existing source' while following SWT Example Help document [message #547877]

Hi, I got stuck when I'm following the step-by-step documentations of SWT Example.

http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .platform.doc.isv/samples/org.eclipse.swt.examples/doc-html/ swt_manual_setup.html

In the 5th step of "Importing example source", it says "Select Create project from existing source and click on the Browse ... ". But actually there is not such option in my Eclipse 3.6 new project wizard.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

P.S my ultimate purpose is to start learning the swt example source code.

The new Java Project wizard has changed slightly in 3.6: simply uncheck
'Use default location' and point to the location where your source is. I
also filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=320351 to track
the doc update.

I'm somewhat frustrated.
I followed the instrument and installed both Eclipse SDK Example and Eclipse SDK Example Source. But I really can't find anything even similar like this:

eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk.examples.source_3.1.0/src/or g.eclipse.swt.examples_3.1.0

Only a small jar: org.eclipse.sdk.examples.source_3.1.300.v20100527.jar located on eclipse plugin dir.

Can somebody give me a hint? Thanks

It's not clear what you're trying to do or what you're asking. Are you
looking for particular example source code? If so, see here:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/examples.php

My question is that this document says that swt example source code is located in eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk.examples.source_3.1.0/src/or g.eclipse.swt.examples_3.1.0 , but I can't find it. I want to make sure if the document is wrong. If it's right, then what happened in my eclipse installation?

The link given by you is useful, thank you.

It looks like that page is very out of date. Even in the latest release,
the help content is the same. I suggest you look at the page I sent
(http://www.eclipse.org/swt/examples.php) and try again.
If you continue to have problems, try asking on the SWT forum group.

Hope this helps,
Eric

What was the resolution to this issue? I'm having the same problem- the actual SDK example source code is no where to be found.

After some digging I was able to resolve this. Here's what I did:
Downloaded "Example Plug-ins" and put extracted files in in dropins/sdkexamples directory. For some reason, I couldn't find SDK examples on the update site.
Next, I created a new empty Java project for SWT examples.
Then I went to File -> Import and imported the archive from dropins/plugins (location of the archive file was the key piece of information I was missing):
eclipse/dropins/sdkexamples/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.examples.source_3.4.0.v3659b.jar

sdkexamples is a directory name that I made up.

Hope this helps some one!
