I hope this is a simple question:

I have Eclipse running on a specific machine and have to change the
machine now.
So I want to transfer my existing projects 1:1 to the new machine. Also I
exported my projects as file systems and zip file, I have to build a new
project first on the new machine to import my projects.

When I import my projects then, all my old projects are located within the
new project but not working.
Is it possible to export my project and import them wihtout having to
build a new project in my new Eclipse installation?
How do I solve this problem?

From the File->Import menu, select Existing project. In the subsequent
dialog browse to the location with the project. Make sure that the
project contains the .project and .classpath files. These define the
project.
