Adding file to project [message #179653]

This is probably a very silly question to ask but how do you add a new
file (that already exists on hard disc) to a new project? I have installed
the ruby plugin and it is not obvious how to do this, do you import the
file? How do you add this to a run configuration? Are there any documents
that I should be looking at to do this? I am running the 3.2 Eclipse with
the 0.81 ruby plugin. Thanks for any help.

In the package explorer, right click the project, or if the project has
subfolders right click the folder in which you want to put the file.
(With Java, you would right click the package in which you wanted to put
it. I don't know how Ruby projects are organized.) Select Import... ->
General -> File System and click Next. Browse to the location of the
file(s), select the source folder, then select the file(s) and click
Finish. They should be copied to the Eclipse project directory.

The first thing that you need is a project. You can create one using the
"File > New > Project..." menu. I assume that "Ruby Project" will be one
of the options.

After you have a project, you can just drag and drop files onto your
project and it's folders. Or you can use the "File > Import..." menu option.
