With Eclipse, you always have to import a project - there is no other way to do it - Eclipse won't detect projects if you just switch workspaces unless you've created/imported the project in that workspace before.

You will need at a minimum:

• .project
• .classpath

Personally I also add the settings folder, but its up to you:

• .settings

Then other users choose Import project and select the .project file.
