Importing ProjectTemplate

Follow these steps to import the ProjectTemplate project (or any other project) into your workspace from either a .zip archive or a directory on your hard disk.

First download the project template, ProjectTemplate.zip, to your computer. Click on this download link and save the file somewhere on your hard drive where you can easily find it. Make sure you name it ProjectTemplate.zip and that you do not expand this archive. (If your browser automatically expands downloaded zip archives, that's OK too. Just pay attention to the special instructions in the following few steps.) You may want to make a note of where you saved it.

1. Start by importing into Eclipse the project template. From the File menu select Import...
   
2. In the new window, expand General and select Existing Projects into Workspace. Click Next.
   
3. Click on the radio button next to Select archive file and then click the Browse... button. (If your browser expanded the ProjectTemplate.zip archive into a ProjectTemplate directory, leave the Select root directory radio button selected instead.)
   
4. In the file selection window, find the ProjectTemplate.zip file and select it. (If your browser expanded the ProjectTemplate.zip archive into a ProjectTemplate directory, find the ProjectTemplate directory instead.) Click OK.
   
5. Click Finish.
   
6. The project template is imported into Eclipse and appears as a new project called ProjectTemplate in the Package Explorer view. You can expand a few entries to see what kind of structure the new project has.
