Eclipse doesn't recognize projects

I had to reinstall Windows, so I downloaded eclipse again. I saved the workspace folder in MEGA and now Eclipse can't recognize any projects.

I tried to use import and import from workspace or importing from file system, but that didn't work.

Any ideas? I did this many times in the past and is the first time that something like this happens.

You must use File - Import - General - Import existing project into workspace, then point to your project folder and you should be able to see your projects listed in the "projects" area

I have a similar issue using a workspace saved on MEGA on two different computers. I could solve it creating new projects with the same name.

Example: If you have a folder named MyProject in your workspace (assuming it's a java project)

  1. Go to File->New->Java Project
  2. Insert MyProject as project name
  3. Project is visible in eclipse now

Maybe some further configuration is needed, according to your specific projects.

Hope that helps...

UPDATE: There is an option in MEGA settings, excluding files starting with a dot, what could be the cause for the missing .project file.
