Those projects you think you have under Assignment 1 aren't Eclipse
projects. For this reason, you'll need to create a new project (Java
Project, Dynamic Web Project, etc.), then on the wizard's first page,
designate Assignment 1/project as the source for the project. Eclipse
will then create .project, .classpath, etc. in that project and it will
become an Eclipse project.
Hope this helps.

Choose a Java Project rather than a generic Project.
This said, under Assignment 1, you don't have any kind of Java project,
but just Java sources and a JAR. This wouldn't be legitimate even for
command-line javac.
In order to make an Eclipse Java Project, create a new Java Project,
with the name you want (maybe Assignment-1?), then create a package (or
packages) under the src subdirectory that corresponds to the package
directive inside your Java file(s). Right-click on a package, choose
New..., then Class and give it the name of one of your Java files. Copy
the contents of that file into the new one. (There are more
sophisticated ways to achieve this, but they're usually frustrating.)
Add a lib subdirectory to the root of your project and copy the JAR file
to it. Right-click on the project and choose Build Path -> Configure
Build Path -> Libraries -> Add JARs to add that JAR to your project
(you'll navigate to find it under that lib subdirectory you created).
Basically, I've told you here how to create a project from scratch
because your "project" on disk aren't really projects at all.

Hi Russell,
I'm trying to do the same thing as erkmania, but am running into a few problems. I have all the same files and the latest eclipse downloaded. Here's my problem(s):
1. When you say to create a package (or packages) under the src subdirectory that corresponds to the package directive inside your Java file(s). What exactly does this part mean? In the list here, which are my package directives?
I've clicked on my src subdirectory to create a new package, but I'm not sure if the package directive is the .class or .java files I've got contained. This is where I'm most confused.
2. When I go to >build path > configure build path > add JARS > my karel.jar isn't listed. I have to have to add my jar via > Add External JARS. Is there is a difference between the two? Will it matter?
Thanks much for your help and patience!

1. Think of packages as matching the folders or subdirectories between
src and your .java file. The package directive is:
package all.the.folders.above.my.javacode;
Take a look at
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/use-eclipse.html to see if it
doesn't help with some of this. (It shows only one package, but you
could have more than one.)
2. Which of Add External JARs and Add JARs to use depends on whether the
JAR is in your project's filesystem or elsewhere. I think the
distinction is really whether a full filesystem path or a relative path
is generated for the .classpath file at the root of your projects. This
makes a big difference if you're sharing your project via Subversion or
another version-control system.
