Eclipse - Adding your existing files as a project

Its been a while since I blogged ... and here it goes ...

In Eclipse, a direct drag and drop wont import all your files of an existing project. But you still want to use them to develop or just to examine the contents of the files. To do that .....

Step 1 : Choose your workspace as something which is the parent of the existing folder. For ex :

There is a folder A which has B and the B folder has C in it. cd A -> cd B -> cd C
If you want to import B, choose A as your workspace.

Step 2 : File -> New Project -> PHP Project ( in my case ) and then Name the project as B. Now, choose "Create a project at existing location".

Step 3 : Then add the required folders and you're done.

I currently am working on learning CodeIgniter - an Open Source PHP Framework and will post my learning experience here.

PHP : Wanna edit in something new :D

Hello guys, if you are following me on Facebook, the you'll know that I currently am not in Hyd. So ... where am I ??? At Vijayawada, doing a MT Event. The event is for 10 days, so .... ten days without my laptop would be like ... no air for about 10 mins ... :D

Since I have lots of work to do after I get back home ( project, web-site for the cube tourney, another project and GATE coaching along with my personal programming training )

I said programming training because :( I recently got to know that I almost forgot Java and without NetBeans am a complete waste ) ... So ... did a little research on java or php and guess what :D ... I am happy with php ... Am planning on learning a few more languages along with HTML ( properly ) and JavaScript which include Ajax, Python and PERL ( if possible ).

Now, coming to php development, I've been doing lots ( dont mistake lots for a huge project or a module, its just nothing with compared to the real developers out there. ) of coding on the gEdit Text Editor and after watching a few videos in which TextMate ( MacOS ) was used, I really loved it and decided to move to an IDE.

I had the Netbeans option and just by installing plugins, I could do with php but .... Netbeans and Eclipse became the standard and go-to applications for many languages and I wanted to try something new.

I already used Komodo which was really nice, and Geany, which was nice too. So wish me luck coz I just am trying to use the ZEND Studio and I hope it'll be great. :)
