i'm using eclipse "helios" 3.6.0, and trying to follow the instructions from the above link.

where the instructions say:
####################################################
Ok so now it's time to create an Eclipse project. From the Eclipse file menu, select new->Java Project. Enter a name, for example "xbeefun".

Under contents, select "create project from existing source" and select the xbee-api folder (from the zip file you downloaded). Now you should be able to click "next" and "finish".
####################################################

i get lost at the "create project from existing source" which option i don't see in ver 3.6.0

i can create a project called "xbeefun", then import the API folder but then i' end up with what looks like two projects.

need a little help with getting this set up so i can try out the examples. thanks

In the Java Project wizard, uncheck the Use default location box. Then
browse to the location were you extracted the source.

And then tell the xbee developers that their documentation is way out of
date and needs to be updated.

I suggest a second step...

Right click on the Project > Move > use default location...

That will get it into your Workspace with the rest of your projects.

Otherwise, Eclipse Helios seems to leave it where it was and just point to it.
