Importing multiple projects into eclipse

I am just curious to know, whether there are possibilities to import more than one project at the same time into Eclipse. Because whenever I create my new workspace I had to import the needed projects from my old workspace to my newly created workspace.

So it would be nice to know, if there are options to import multiple projects at the same time?

Thanks.

How do I import all files into Eclipse?

Press: CTRL + SHIFT + O and you should see below dialog boxes. Choose your desired import package and click next. It will prompt you for your next import and thats it. You are done.

How do I group multiple projects in Eclipse?

But you can group Projects into named Working Sets. On the Package Explorer or Project Explorer view menu, you can use Top Level Elements -> Working Sets and use Configure Working Sets.../Select Working Sets... to organize your Projects into folder-like groups.

If all of your old projects exist in a single directory or in a single parent directory, you can do File -> Import... -> Existing Projects into workspace. Choose a root directory that is a parent all of the projects you want to import. You will then be able to import all of the projects at once.

There is an ongoing experiment of an easier and smarter import mechanism for Eclipse IDE. See https://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/UI/Smart_Import for details. Then you'll see new UI entries in File menu or Import wizard that will allow you to import projects recursively.

In case you notice any issue, please report bugs!
