First, I did a search on the this forum to see if this topic was already discussed/resolved; however, I did not find anything, or perhaps I didn't recognize an answer.

So, what I'd like to do/know is how I can use Eclipse (Kepler) to navigate existing code. I have an existing directory and even a makefile; however, this is of little use if I can't use Eclispe to open files and navigate classes & methods.

I'm assuming I have to create a project, perhaps even import it; however, I can't find a straight-forward answer if this possible much less the steps to do it.

At the risk of forum ridicule, is this possible? If so, how does one do it? More so, I'm using Remote System Explorer (RSE) if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance,
