Hi,

Is it possible to import projects from an existing local repository. The
wizard is already there but it seems to be a page of the import repository
wizard.

Either clone the local repo. Enter a URL of the form file:PATH, or use the Import Existing Projects wizard.

I've cloned our git repository from http://git.softeys.de/p/tmf.xtext.git

It contains a couple of projects in the typical Eclipse layout (tests,
plugins and features are in dedicated folders). When importing that
repostiory no projects are found (I assume that's because they are
nested too deep within the repository).

When using the standard "Import Existing Projects" the imported projects
afterwards the imported projects are not connected to the repository.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it a known limitation?

Cheers,
Sven

We have a .project file in the root, which caused the described
behavior. Also using the share wizard after using the standard import
existing projects wizard worked well.

Thanks,
Sven
