Trying to Import Projects from 2.1 on D drive to new 3.0.1 on C drive. When
done I going to reformat D drive, so I must be certian they are in 3.0.1 on
C drive.
Followed Help Import Instructions. Imported Project A. It is now in 3.0.1
dev studio. I can edit it and run it, but is it really there? Looked in
Explorer under C:\Eclipse_3_0_1\eclipse\workspace\ and it is not there.
What is there are a couple test projects that I just created and ran, but no
Project A.
So I went to the D drive and copied the file for Project B from 2.1 into
workspace of 3.0.1. Project B now shows up in explorer as living in 3.0.1's
workspace, but when opening the development studio it is not there. I'm
very confused.
Project A, imported into 3.0.1 shows up within 3.0.1 but it's folder or any
evidence of it is not in the Explorer.
Project B, copied into 3.0.1 from the explorer is there in 3.0.1 workspace
in the explorer but not there in the dev studio.
I've got to get this straightened out before I start blowing away Eclipse
2.1 and the D drive.
Thanks, Sam

I recommend deleting the Project (in 3.0) that you tried to import (do
not delete contents if it offers - those contents are still on your old
2.1 directory if I understand you correctly).
Then copy the Project directory from the 2.1 location into your 3.0
workspace directory (using Windoze file explorer or whatever). Then back
in Eclipse 3.0, start the process of creating a new project
(File > New > Project). Use the same name as the Project you just copied
over; the dialog should show a message at the bottom that it detected an
existing project contents in that location. Go ahead and finish the
dialog and it should set up the project from there.
Eclipse recognizes that the location already exists on disk and that it
contains an Eclipse Project.
HTH,
Eric
