How to make an existing directory into an eclipse project

Question

I have a project I am working on. I have decided to try working with it in Eclipse. There is already a directory, under version control where all the code resides. I am having a rather strange problem. I cannot find any way to just start using an existing code directory as an eclipse project. All I can find is how to import existing source into a new project or check out source from version control into a new project. How do I make an existing directory into a project?

My project is a Django web app if it is any help

Answer 1

In the New Java Project wizard, uncheck the checkbox that says Use default location and the use the Browse button to find your directory.
