How to create a project from existing source in Eclipse and then find it?

by

Easiest Method:

  1. Put all source files into one directory named after your project. i.e. “ProjectName” You can keep this directory in your workspace or it can be somewhere else.
  2. Start a new project in eclipse and name it using that same project name.
  3. Uncheck the “use default location” box and find the directory where your project is unless your project is already in the workspace – then you must not uncheck the “use default location” box
  4. Click ‘next’.

Eclipse should be smart enough to figure out what’s going on. After clicking next, it will show you all of the files it found in that directory. It will just automatically add those files to your project. Voilà!
