title: How do I import *.java text files into an Eclipse project?
body: <p>I'm finally biting the bullet and starting use Eclipse (Europa for now) instead of command-line java and Notepad. However, I've not really organized my projects apart from naming conventions (e.g., ProjAClassname1, ProjAClassname2, ProjAClassname3, etc) and they're all in my JRE java/bin directory. I have a directory full of *.java files that I want to start organizing into a brand new install of Eclipse. </p>
  
  <p>I've followed the instructions in the Eclipse help files, googled for a while and I've found some excellent Stack answers on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2360286/how-to-import-class-into-existing-java-project-with-eclipse">importing JAR files</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17576166/why-i-cant-import-existing-project-to-eclipse">importing existing</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11983088/how-to-import-a-java-project-to-eclipse">Eclipse projects</a>. However, none of these work. None of the resulting dialogs show a list of files to import/add; I think they assume that all my classes are contained in *.jar files instead of *.java files. </p>
  
  <p>I created java\bin\ProjA\src and copied all my source code *.java; same results. The closest I got was creating a new project, then dragging and dropping the *.jave files from Explorer to Eclipse. The classes all showed up as part of the project, but I had the little red x indicating "out of sync with file system", and even though I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4343735/avoiding-resource-is-out-of-sync-with-the-filesystem">this</a>, none of the solutions offered in that answer worked for me. </p>
  
  <p>Before I start creating new classes and cutting/pasting from Notepad, I wanted to know if there were any other ideas floating out there?</p>
