I am new to C++ and Eclipse (with CDT plugin) and I want to transfer the small project I have written on my old computer to my new one. On the new machine, must I create a new project, new files for each corresponding file in the project, then copy and paste the source into these files, or is there a setting in Eclipse that would allow me to import the files in one go. I have been searching all of the menu items for something such as “import project” or “import files” but I cannot find anything. Is copy and paste the only solution? I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

First, create a new and empty Workspace.
Then open the File menu and select Import….
Here you’ll find an option to import existing projects, which should work with the project file in your old/copied source directory.
