title: How to Open an Existing SVN Project in Eclipse
body: <p>I just started a new project which has previously been developed in Eclipse. I have not used Eclipse since 2006 and it was for a short non-SVN-controlled project at that time. I have extensive experience with NetBeans and Visual Studio. </p>
  
  <p>The code base is in an SVN repository. I have installed Eclipse (Helios) and TortiseSVN and downloaded the source. I see that there is a .project file and that it contains some eclipse references. </p>
  
  <p>I would like to import the project so that I can edit the files under SVN control. I would then like to either commit the files via the Tortoise client, or more ideally, directly in Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>I have already reviewed a couple of web sites and questions on this forum, but have not been able to find a how to for this particular use case.</p>
