Importing a Scala project from github into Eclipse

Question

I've installed EGit plugin in my Eclipse Helios with latest Scala IDE plugin beta. I've imported it as a "general project" using clone and I can't find any Configure -> Add Scala nature option ... what am I doing wrong? (can't compile/run/add libraries etc)

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with the EGit Plug-in, but do you also have the option to import it as a Java project? The "Add Scala Nature" option is only available for Java projects.

If you can't create it as a Java project, you can also just modify the generated .project file and add the Java nature to it manually:

<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
