I simply export all my "run/debug configurations" from the original project by:

copying the content of folder:

$My-Workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches

into a folder in the destination project (folder location or name doesn't matter, just as long as it is in the imported project)

and when I open eclipse to my workspace and the project - it will show up automatically in "run/debug configurations" dialog (eclipse scan the projects for .launch files)

also after copying a .launch file into my project, i right click the root folder and choose refresh, wait for a minute and the configurations appear in the "run/debug configurations"

Export

File -> Export... -> Run/Debug -> "Launch Configurations"

Then select the configurations you need to export.

Import

File -> Import... -> Run/Debug -> "Launch Configurations"

Then select the configurations into "From Directory".

Example images are available here along with a sample .launch file.
