Download ZIP file from GitHub and import in eclipse

Why every project that I download as a zip file from Github i can't import in Eclipse? This is how I try it...

  1. Of course, firtst I download it as a ZIP. (download it to desctop, for example) enter image description here
  2. Then, import existing project... enter image description here
  3. But then even if there is a project for sure, and special this project, it shows me warning "No projects are found for import" like this:

enter image description here This is problem for every project that I try to import like this. Is there any other way to import projects or...? (I repet this project work 100% on my friends laptop, but I can't even import it)

I was trying to do the same for GitHub download project. I figured out that if this is a maven project then you will not find these .project files. So instead of using import -> Existing project to Workspace use Existing Maven Project.

Make sure you have uncompress the zip archived first.

Then check the content of the folder where you uncompressed the zip file.
If there is no .project file, do create a new project in Eclipse, and point the sources to that folder, instead of trying to import it.
See "How to import a java project missing .project .settings .classpath files into eclipse".

maybe you can see the following:

  • you have to select the folder where the project is created.
  • you are sure that is a project, maybe are only the files

Pls attach the link of git to check this.

Regards.
