I have been trying to find answers to these questions, but haven't gotten
any useful feedbacks... so I am going to give it another shot.
Question 1. Is there a[n] [easy] way to convert an existing generic project
to a Java project? The answer I got before was to use import project, but
the problem with import is I must use a different project name, or place it
under a different workspace directory. What I would like to do is to change
the project type in-place, can I do that?
Question 2. How can I check in a new Java project into CVS along with its
project type information? It seems that only the code is checked in but not
the project type information (the .project and other files), so if I check
it out from a different machine, it goes back to the "generic project" type,
which goes to Question 1.
Question 3. Why newly created files are all treated as binaries? The rules
under Team->File Content says *.java are ASCII Text, but whenever i create a
new class, that new java file shows up as Binary, and I have to manually
change it to ASCII only after it's been committed into the CVS? What did I
do wrong?
I have been boggled by these three questions for a long time, and would
appreciate it very much if any of you Eclipse experts can help me clearing
them.

You can try editing the .project file manually to include the Java
nature and builder. Here is a sample from one of my projects:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>MyProject</name>
<comment></comment>
<projects>
</projects>
<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
<nature>org.eclipse.jem.workbench.JavaEMFNature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.jem.beaninfo.BeanInfoNature</nature>
</natures>
</projectDescription>
I don't know for certain, but I think if you do this and restart Eclipse
it will generate a .classpath file for you. If not, create a new dummy
Java project and steal the .classpath from that.

Just check in the .project and .classpath files along with everything else.

Perhaps something on your CVS server configuration. It works as expected
for me with Eclipse 3.2/3.2.1
Hope this helps,

Hi Eric,
Thank you so much for getting back to me and clearing the questions that
have been bugging me for centuries... Yet I am still not quite sure about
the 2nd question - you said I can check in the .project along with other
files.. but when I do a share project, only the codes are showing in the
team-synchronization perspective, but not those hidden files. do I have to
check them in manually using cvs command line? thanks.

I was pretty sure that those files get included when you check in a
project. If you can reproduce the behavior where they do not get
included, I recommend you file a bug report.
In any case, you can just select the files in the Navigator and commit
them from the right-click menu.
Hope this helps,
Eric
