If you are trying to import non maven project into eclipse follow the below steps, it worked for me.

first clone project into your machine and follow the below steps to import in eclipse.

Maybe you have closed the project and configured the project explorer view to filter closed projects.

In that case, have a look at Filters in the Project Explorer view. Make sure that closed projects are disabled in the "Filters" view.

I also have just faced with this problem that how to open existing file. And none of answers was helpful. That's why I tried by myself.

Direction: File -> Open file -> Workspace (with you had chosen first in creating your project) -> Package (which you already created your project in) -> src (source file) -> Created package ->

And now your searching project's nodepad format. I hope it would be helpful. If any mistake here, sorry beforehand.

If it's a maven project, go to file>import>maven project >existing maven project, then browse for the folder that contains the project, select folder then click finish. That worked for me
