Importing Projects
To load existing Eclipse projects into your workspace, choose File | Import... | General | Existing Projects into Workspace.
-
If the projects are in a directory, such as another workspace, use Select root directory and browse to where the projects are located.
-
You'll probably want to check the Copy projects into workspace checkbox.
-
If the projects are in a ZIP file (for example, a teammate exported them as a ZIP and sent you the ZIP), choose Select archive file and browse to where you saved the ZIP.
Do This Now¶
Load the pre-created Eclipse projects for this course into your Eclipse workspace using the Import wizard. * The instructor will show you how to download the ZIP file. * Then, click on File | Import | General | Existing Projects into Workspace. * Do NOT choose Archive File in this step! * Click Next * Now choose the Select archive file radio button, browse to the location of the student ZIP file, select it, and click Open. * Under Projects you should see a list of the projects Eclipse sees in the ZIP file. * If you don't see a list of projects here, you may have opened the wrong ZIP, or it didn't get downloaded properly, or something; the instructor will help you resolve this. * Click Finish. You should now see the imported projects in the Package Explorer view.
