Create new Java project from existing sources? [message #755923] Thu, 10 November 2011 03:38 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Assume I have a (simplified) directory tree with java sources like

<somepath>\
<somepath>\src\aaa\bbb\myclass1.java
<somepath>\src\aaa\bbb\myclass2.java
<somepath>\src\ddd\ccc\myclass3.java
<somepath>\inputsample.dat

This java project is currently NOT an Eclipse project.
So I cannot simply import it with menu File->import...

How else can I make a complete Eclipse project out of it?

That means I want to let Eclipse automatically scan the base folder beginning
with <somepath> and add all included files and create all necessary packages.

How can I do this otherwise?

You can either create the Java project and then import (means copy) from
<somepath> into it or you you create a Java project that points to that
location by disabling 'Use default location'. Once you've done that you
might have to update the Java build path of the project to make sure
that 'src' is on the build path as source folder.
