I got a java source code from an opensource project. The source code doesn't have eclipse project specific files such as .project ,.classpath ,.setting(directory). How can I import that java source into eclipse ?
I don't have pom.xml(mvn) file to specify. So I tried manually.
followed the below steps to solve
Create a directory with the projectName and a directory "src" under projectName.
Move the source code ( ie: org/apache/hadoop directory) into src directory under projectName.
Create a sample project in eclipse and go the workspace and modify the .project xml file by changing the project name ,.settings ,.classpath files
Copy the modified ".project" file and ".settings" ,".classpath" from eclipse workspace project directory to the newly created directory "projectName/"
5 .Use eclipse import option under File menu to import the newly created project use Existing project into workspace option
Give the project root directory as projectName directory.

if you are using maven type mvn eclipse:eclipse on project folder
if you are not using maven, go to eclipse, import->import -> general -> filesystem (then select your directory with source files)
