Importing class java files in Eclipse

Question

I m new to Java Programming using Eclipse  so would really appreciate your help for this question   I have doing Java programming both at college and home  At home  I have all my Java classes under a single project- Java Reference   Now  in college  the java programs are compiled on the lab machines  And I would really like to have all these programs in a single project  on my laptop   I had recently copied all the  class and  java files from the programs we did in college labs  so I could have them under the  Java Reference  project in my laptop  I copied the  class and  java files under the  bin  and  src  folders of the java project  on my laptop  However  I don t see anyway to import them through Eclipse   From what I read here  it looks like having an entire project created somewhere else  could be copied into one place  through the import option  but in my case  I only have the  class and  java files

You can import a bunch of  java files to your existing project without creating a new project  Here are the steps    Right-click on the Default Package in the Project Manager pane  underneath your project and choose Import   An Import Wizard window will display  Choose File system and select the Next button   You are now prompted to choose a file Simply browse your folder with  java files in it  Select desired  java files  Click on Finish to finish the import wizard   Check the following webpage for more information  http   people cs uchicago edu  kaharris 10200 tutorials eclipse Step 04 html

create a new java project in Eclipse and copy  java files to its src directory  if you don t know where those source files should be placed  right click on the root of the project and choose new- class to create a test class and see where its  java file is placed  then put other files with it  in the same directory  you may have to adjust the package in those source files according to the new project directory structure   if you use external libraries in your code  you have two options  either copy   download jar files or use maven if you use maven you ll have to create the project at maven project in the first place  creating java projects as maven projects are the way to go anyway but that s for another post

First  you don t need the  class files if they are compiled from your  java classes   To import your files  you need to create an empty Java project  They you either import them one by one  New -  File -  Advanced -  Link file  or directly copy them into their corresponding folder package and refresh the project

I had the same problem  But What I did is I imported the  java files and then I went to Search- File-  and then changed the package name to whatever package it should belong in this way I fixed a lot of java files which otherwise would require to go to every file and change them manually
