Talend how to open talend.project file

Question

I am complete new to talend and inherited some projects from someone who has left our company. I can not figure out how to open the job and edit it. I downloaded and is running Talend DI. When I try to import the project I get the message. "Selected folder is not a Talend Open Studio project."

The project files have look like this. (- represents a folder)

-ProjectName

-lib

jobinfo.properties

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you

That might not be a complete project folder , but rather the result of someone selecting one or more jobs (in a project) and exporting them.

Try this

• create a new project
• open it
• right click on jobs
• import
• navigate to the folder you mention as the source folder
• see if it finds any items (jobs, contexts, meta data definitions etc) to import
• for the sake of simplicity, import all available items into your newly created project
• review the jobs and other imported items
