I am trying to “import existing project into workspace”. As the “root directory” I select the directory where all my .java (and .class) files are located. Eclipse writes me that “no projects are found to import”. Why?

Eclipse is looking for eclipse projects, meaning its is searching for eclipse-specific files in the root directory, namely
.projectand.classpath. You either gave Eclipse the wrong directory (if you are importing a eclipse project) or you actually want to create a new project from existing source(new->java project->create project from existing source).I think you probably want the second one, because Eclipse projects usually have separate source & build directories. If your sources and .class files are in the same directory, you probably didn’t have a eclipse project.
