External .jar + git repo [message #1227631]

Normally in a java project I can add an internal/external .jar through the build path in the properties. Why, when I clone a git repo and import it into my projects, do I lose that ability? I don't understand.

My guess would be that the project you cloned isn't setup as and Eclipse
Java project. Eclipse adds a .project and .classpath file that specify
the structure of the Java project. If these weren't added to the git
repo, then Eclipse doesn't know that the project is a Java project.
