Suppose I extracted a Java project from a tar archive. How do I add it to Eclipse (Indigo)?
In the past when I have had to so something like this, I simply created a new Eclipse project with the same name and manually copied all the .java files into the proper folder down at workspace/projectName/src/topDomain/companyDomain/packageName.
Is there a better way?
File – Import… – Existing project into workspace.
This supposes that the tar archive contains the whole project, including the .project and .classpath files.
If it doesn’t, then either make a new project where you want, and copy the source files, or create a project and specify that its location must be the directory containing the sources folder that you extracted from the tar.
