I have an Eclipse project. It originally had a structure something like this:

MyProj
   src
      myproj
          bar.java
          baz.java
          foo.java
          [etc.]

Earlier, I thought I wouldn’t need baz.java anymore, so I deleted it from the project, which also deleted it from disk. Thankfully, subversion remembered the old version, because it turns out I DO need it, so now I’ve gotten it back into the source directory, but I can’t seem to figure out how to add it back into the project.

I tried File -> Import, but that seems to only want to import directories.

I tried File -> New -> Java Class, but that creates a new, empty file.

I suppose I COULD copy my file off elsewhere, File -> New, then copy/paste it in, but I’d love to learn the CORRECT Eclipse way to add an existing file to my project.

Thanks!

    You should be able to just put them in the correct dir under your project(I think you stated SVN already replaced the file in the proper location), and hit File->refresh in Eclipse.

    Edit: that wasn’t working for me, I’m on a mac but I assume drag on drop should work platform independent and it was working for me.
