Question

As one of our bachelorette parties on vacation, I got his task. The source code is in our svn repository, and I got the source of the java project. downloaded eclipse 3.3.2 sdk, as it was his instruction.

How to open an existing project in eclipse? Coming from the MS world, I don’t have the luxury of finding a .sln file.

Answer 1

• File → Import → Existing project in workspace
• Find this directory.

Alternative: check the code in SVN in some folder

• Create a new folder in Windows
• In the eclipse file -> switchWorkspace -> newFolderName
• close welcome window in eclipse
• In the eclipse file → Import → Existing project in workpce-> select root dir → browse and show the svn checkout folder

Answer 2

If this is a simple Java project, you essentially create a new project and specify the location of the existing code. The project wizard will tell you that he will use existing sources.

Also, Eclipse 3.3.2 is an ancient story, you guys should really be updated. This is similar to using Visual Studio 5.

Answer 3

A typical example is checking the project root folder (= the one that contains the file named .project) from SVN using the eclipse svn integration (an overview of the perspective of the SVN repository). Then the project is automatically recognized.

Answer 4

Eclipse has no internal Subversion feature. After you have downloaded and unpacked Eclipse, you need to install the Subversion plug-in. Consult with other developers regarding which Subversion module you are using. Subclipse is one Subversion plugin.

After you install the Subversion plug-in, you must provide Eclipse with repository information in the SVN Repositories view of the SVN Repositories perspective. One of the other developers should have this information.

Finally, you check the project from Subversion by left-clicking on the package explorer, choosing Create → Project, and in the New Project wizard, left-click on SVN → Checkout Projects from SVN.

Answer 5

Simple, you just open the file klik -> import -> General -> an existing project in the workspace -> look at the file in your directory.
