title: Java makefile to eclipse project
body: <p>I have an makefile version of a java project which is organized as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CLASSFILES=Main/Main.class Lex/BooleanLiteral.class&lt; and so on&gt;
  JAVAFILES=IR/*.java
  CFILES=Runtime/*.c
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am looking to move this to Eclipse so that I would be able to debug it better( I need to implement a feature in this codebase and i need to understand the codeflow better. )</p>
  
  <p>I am a C++ programmer and I have just moved to Java programming, i have tried to follow the instructions in this link 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/142863/how-do-i-import-a-pre-existing-java-project-into-eclipse-and-get-up-and-running">How do I import a pre-existing Java project into Eclipse and get up and running?</a>
  but i am getting the following error, the project was not built since its build path is not complete.  I am really stuck here, any help would be much appreciated.</p>
