Why is it that there's no intuitive way to take an existing set of Java
files and create a new project using them in Eclipse? I've got some
sample Java files, they compile just fine in the command line. How can
I start a new project and add files?
The only option I see is to add a "File System", whatever that means.
Y'know, the environment works fast and looks cool - but it seems to have
a "geek filter" that discourages even seasoned developers.
Any replies appreciated.

it imports files from the file system (which just means files on a
disk). Just pick the directory where the files are located, and click
Finish.

If you want to develop in the location where the files already reside,
uncheck the use default location when creating the project and point to
the location in the file system where the source is located. Eclipse will
look for .java files in the new project location and automatically add
them to the new project
