Hello!

I like to use Eclipse for quickly browsing exsisting file structures
(containing .java files) without creating projects, importing etc...

Is Eclipse able to do this or do I need I plugin?

Thx for your help!

No, you have to create a project first. If you create a simple project,
and set its location to be the directory that you want to browse, that
will allow you to browse the project without having to physically copy
the files elsewhere...

Another alternative is to create a Project in your workspace, and then
create a linked folder that points to an existing source tree on your
file system. Linked folders are created by clicking the Advanced...
button on the "Create Folder" dialog in Eclipse.
