Eclipse: Cannot find project in Project Explorer

Question

I am using Eclipse Juno SR1 Java EE, and checked out code from SVN as an Eclipse project. I am able to click on files in the project to verify everything was ok. The next time I rebooted, I can't see the project in the Project Explorer window.

A few things I checked: The menu item Project > Open Project is greyed out, indicating there are no closed projects. The project's file tree exists in my workspace. Eclipse won't let me create a new project with the same name because one already exists.

This is my first time using Juno, is there some new control that hides projects from view?

Answer 1

"File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects Into Workspace"

"File -> Import -> Android -> Existing Android Code Into Workspace" doesn't do what you're trying to accomplish (been there...).

Assuming the above lines mean what they say, the first tells Eclipse to recognize what you're importing as an official Project. The 2nd tells Eclipse that you're importing only the code, not the Project itself.

Answer 2

Sometimes it's just because .project file is missing. If you have any other project, copy its .project file and paste inside the main folder of the project you're trying to import.
