Why is Eclipse such a pain in the ass?
Why can't I just create a project and point it at my src folder? Is it
really necessary to create a 'src' folder then stop me from creating my
own without having to delete the dir, create the project, delete again,
refresh, edit properties, create src folder pointing to right place. Why
can't it just do the same as every other IDE on the planet?
Why can't you just point at the file system like a sensible, logical app
would?
Create shortcuts by all means, but to have this nonsense as default
behaviour.
I'd still be with JDeveloper if its debugger wasn't complete rubbish.
Oh well, I've got my project working now and thats all that matters.
Rant over.

Hi,
In fact, you can. You should read 'Java Development User Guide' > 'Getting
Started' > 'Project configuration tutorial'. There are a couple of detailed
examples for using existing project and source code layouts. Maybe that
helps.
HTH,

An even easier solution is to uncheck Use Default Location when creating a
new project, select Browse, navigate to where the existing project resides
in the files system and select it.
