Unable to import a project in eclipse

Question

I am not able to add a project in eclipse. I am adding the file location in the import wizard in the "archived file" section and the finish button does not show up.

The files are zipped.

I already have seven files imported in my eclipse 3.2.1. Is this the reason for the problem I am experiencing?

I have previously not imported those files into eclipse.

The problem arises only for some specific projects while I can easily import others.

Answer 1

This is also occurring on the 3.2.3 version of Appcelerator's Titanium Studio, so the problem must be in Eclipse - maddening! I haven't found a workaround other than creating a new blank project and then copying everything back into it.

Answer 2

The Import > "Existing Project into Workspace" feature is suited to import projects which are already configured for Eclipse. In this case, these projects should already have a .project file.

On the other hand, the Import > "Archive File" and "File System" options only import a directory or an archive content into a folder of a project that already resides in Eclipse Workspace.

Which one is the case?

If what you want to do is to import an archived file as though it were a project, then what you have to do is:

1. Create a blank new project in Eclipse.

2. Import the archived file into the new project base dir.

3. Configure the imported content appropriately (i.e. define source directory and other proper configurations).
