Eclipse projects not showing up after placing project files in workspace/projects

I've searched for 2 days and can't find anything. I find things that are close, but not what I need.

I got a new computer recently and copied all of my projects over to my new computer.

I opened Eclipse and generated a workspace, which I then closed out of Eclipse and copied my projects into the workspace/projects folder.

I reopen Eclipse and my projects do not show up at all in the package explorer.

I know that I have the correct folders in the correct directory.

The closest thread I found to this is: Eclipse - Import an existing project?

but even that didn't help, my projects already meet that...

I have tried refreshing, reopening, fooling with working sets, etc...

Why can't I see my projects in Eclipse?

Hi, The proper way of doing it it to right click in the package explorer and select "Import -> General -> Existing project" into the workspace and then import your projects. The presence of a project in the folder of the workspace is not enough to ensure that Eclipse will show you your projects.

Where are my Eclipse projects?

You could open Eclipse with a new different (empty) workspace folder or File -> Switch Workspace. Then use File-> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace. Use "Select root directory" and use Browse... to locate the folder that contains your projects, assuming they are still on disk somewhere.

How do I show all projects in Eclipse?

In Eclipse, if the Project Explorer pane is not already open, click the Show View icon in the lower left corner of Eclipse, then click Project Explorer. In the Project Explorer pane, right-click your project name, then click Properties.

Just because you have a project inside the workspace directory doesn't mean Eclipse opens it or even sees it automatically. You must use File - Import - General - Import existing project into workspace to have your project in Eclipse.
