Hi,
I'm trying to create a project from existing sources. The source files are
all in a directory called source, with the folders matching the packages
as is typical. Example:
src/com/packagepath/packagepath/etc
There are many many packages under source. I only need a few of them.
So, I try to make a new project from existing source.
If I choose src/ as the location of the source, it imports everything
under src into package explorer, but makes things "source folders", that
is:
com/thepackage/iwant
is a folder, with a "default package" beneath it.
If I choose src/com as the location of the source, com/ is chosen as the
source folder, and the packages are:
thepackage/iwant
theotherpackage/iwant
In either case, it breaks because the packages are not found. I want a
project called myProject, with 4-5 packages underneath it,
com/thepackage/iwant, com/thepackage,iwant2, etc. I'm not sure exactly
what a source folder is, versus a file-system folder and versus a java
package with the traditional folder setup, but I don't think I need any
source folders, just a project with packages beneath it.
How can I tell eclipse this?
Any help would be appreciated.

My first recommendation is to open the Help Contents and navigate to the
Java Development User Guide > Getting Started, where you will find a
couple of tutorials. Go through them and you'll understand a lot more
about how Eclipse works and how to use it. Specifically, one of the
tutorials talks about project organization in particular.
The short answer is that you HAVE to have soruce folders defined - that
is how Eclipse knows what files you want it to build. In your setup, it
sounds pretty basic and you just need to define one source folder, src/.
If you want to exclude some packages that are under src/, you can do
that, too.
Please use the tutorials - it is a couple of hours that will repay you
many times over.
Hope this helps,
Eric
