Question

Could someone tell me how to import my Java program code to eclipse? Because im kinda confused with trying to import it. I generally use Dr. Java but I want to start using eclipse as i feel its more professional and i like the “feel” of it? So could someone explain to me how to go about doing this?

If you need anything just ask 😀

In order to import your code into Eclipse:

• Ensure all your code is under a single folder (e.g. /project)
• In Eclipse use File -> New -> Java Project

You will be prompted for the following:

• Project Name – this is what it will be called in Eclipse (e.g. Foo)
• JRE – choose the same as you were using in Dr Java
• Project layout – create separate folders for source/class files.

This will create your project.

Next import the source:

• RClick on your new project (Foo) and click Import… -> General -> File System
• Select the folder containing your code (/project)
• Tick the resources you want to import (or the folder to import everything)

This will copy the code from your original location (/project) into your Eclipse project (located in your workspace)
