Ankit's instructions work for me.

The Menu name has changed from 'Project Facets' to 'Project Natures' and you now click 'Add' -> 'Java builder'. There are various warning about using this so called advanced operation that you need to acknowledge.

Once you have done the above, you will probably need to change the settings in Java Build Path so the 'src' path and libraries are set correctly.

Convert the project into a faceted project. This generally happens when you import a project from git and the project is not a java project.

Steps:

  1. Right Click -> Properties -> Project Facets
  2. Click on convert project into a faceted project
  3. Select the builder as java builder.

In Eclipse, the .project file is kept in the root directory of your project, which is in your workspace. It's easy to see if you do a directory listing in your underlying filesystem. If you want to find out where your workspace is, find it by looking at the project in the Package Explorer. right-click > Properties > Resource > Location.

It might be better to use Eclipse itself to add a builder to your project, for example, using the Package Explorer - project right-click > Properties > Builders feature.
