I am taking over a java project from someone else. The original project was
developed using emacs, but i want to further it using Eclipse because it is
100 times better than a plain text editor. However, Eclipse can't do a lot
of things because it doesn't have the build path specified (in other words,
eclipse doesn't recognize the folder 'src/java/org/...' as a source folder.
So how can I specify that? thanks.

Thanks Eric. But actually I have been to the tutorial, and could only find
the following excerpt on java build path:
Viewing and editing a project's Java build path
A project's Java build path can either be defined when creating the project
with the New Wizard or later in the project's property dialog. The Java
build path settings dialog is the same in both cases. To view and edit a
project's Java build path, follow these steps:
1.. Select the project you want to view or edit
2.. From the project's pop-up menu, select Properties
3.. Select the Java Build Path page ...
My problem is that I could not find that "Java Build Path" page. In my
project properties dialog, i only see four things: Info, Builders, CVS,
and Project References.
I also attempted to add a source folder... but it kept telling me the
project was not a java project and would not allow me to add the source
folder...
that's why I asked this question to the newsgroup, hoping someone can point
me right to the spot.

You need to create a Java project. It sounds like you created a simple
project.

I agree with David. You'll probably need to create a new, _empty_ Java
project, and then copy/import your files into that project. It sounds
like its the project settings that are not allowing the Build Path
dialogue to be visible.
I've had this trouble before, most notably when someone added their
..project file to the CVS module that I got the source code from... that
really messes me up, when others really just use Eclipse as a text
editor (i.e. Simple project), their .project file reflects that, and
they inadvertently include the .project file when they commit their code
to CVS. Uh, I think I'm ranting now... ;)

Thank you, Chuck and David. And that is exactly what happened - I checked
out the project from our CVS repository and eclipse won't recognize it as a
Java project. Now I know what to do. You guys have been great help.
