I'm stumped. I setup a new project and pulled in the source from our CVS
server, established the ant builder using the build.xml file the original
author of the code created, builds the project just fine, but I am having
trouble navigating the source ("Open Declaration", search references) and
I've concluded that I need to set the "Java Build Path" so that while
browsing source, these missing references/declarations are available.
BUT, when I open the project property page, all I see is:
Info
Builders
CVS
Project References
All the examples of this page I can find show "Java Build Path" under the
"Builders" line.
Yes, I'm a newbie. Any advice on how to make source browsing work or how
to get Java Build Path showing again so I can add in my source references
would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Dan,
It sounds like the people who committed the project to CVS didn't
include the hidden files, .project and .classpath. The .project file
specifies the nature of the project and without a Java nature, the Java
things won't be available. Use the "Filters..." action from the little
triangle in the Package Explorer so that ".*" files are not filtered to
see these files and be sure they get committed to CVS. The .project
should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>**name of your project in the workspace**</name>
<comment></comment>
<projects>
</projects>
<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.pde.ManifestBuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.pde.SchemaBuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.pde.PluginNature</nature>
</natures>
</projectDescription>

Ed, thanks for the quick reply. I did as you said, and there now shows a
project file but no .classpath. Still, no "Java Build Path" in the
Project Properties. (Names changed to protect the guilty...)

Just a note. I rechecked CVS and the original author told CVS to ignore
project and .classpath files... Hmmm. I may just pitch everything and
start over from scratch. I won't setup the ant builder. More important to
be able to scan the code than to rebuild it at this point. More advice?
TIA!

Dan,
Try to include all the org.eclipse.jdt things that were in my example.
The nature is particularly important and you won't get Java settings
without it. If you are building a plugin, you need the org.eclipse.pde
things too.

The project was not created as a Java project, but rather a "Simple"
project. Did you create the project before checking out from CVS, or did
you use CVS check-out to create the project for you?
If the former, then just delete the project and re-create it, making
sure to choose Java Project when prompted for the project type.
IF the latter, it is an easy mistake to make when you choose Check
out... from the CVS view. You want to use Check out as... and choose
Java as the project type.
As Ed told you, the .project and .classpath files should be checked in
to CVS so that other developers automatically get those settings when
they check out the project.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Bingo.

I don't have any control on my upstream code supplier. I can suggest it,
but not much hope there. I'm just a "user" of their application. It's a
luxory that I have source code to "figure out how it works." Oh well.

Yes! Thanks.
