How to get Eclipse to recognize this project(made in Intellij) as a Java Project?

I am trying to clone this project and import it into Eclipse.

It was initially made in Intellij.

This is what I see after the project into Eclipse enter image description here

I'am trying to run the program and get a simple output of "Hello"

However when I right click the project and set up a new run configuration for a Java application, the project doesn't even show up when I try to browse for it. Even when I type the name of the project, Eclipse tells me it can't find the project even through it's in my workplace.(shown below) enter image description here

Does anyone know what the issue is? I tried making a new Java Project, copying over the files Stoking didn't have(.settings, .project, etc) but that didn't work. I also tried looking at these two links - link 1 and link 2 but the original project isn't a Maven project.

Solution

  • I can see from your screenshot, that the project does not have the Java facet (the icon doesn't have a J).

    1. get the code

    Go into your eclipse workspace and type:

    git clone https://github.com/ssharif6/StocKing.git

    2. Open in Eclipse

    Then, in Eclipse choose File -> new -> Java Project and enter StocKing for the Project Name field. It will create the project using the files already present in the StocKing folder.
