Opening an Eclipse project already in my workspace

Question

If I have an Eclipse project already in my workspace (say downloaded from version control), how can I open it in Eclipse?

Answer 1

I had the same Problem as Nuraiz but i was able to work around.

You have to select the project you want to open and uncheck the 'Copy projects into workspace'. Then switch the radio button either from "Select root directory" to "Select archive file" or the other way round and switch it back afterwards.

You can now magically select your project or maybe it is already selected.
