I have a fresh installation of myeclipse, because I have a new computer, but none of my previous projects are being recognized by the new installation. I have tried to import them as projects but I get an error that says there is no .project file. Could someone tell me what is the proper way to back up EAR projects which contain ejb, war and java projects so that I can transfer my projects to my new computer. Thank You
Why are the projects missing their .project files? Are you checking them back out of CVS or something and they .project files aren’t there? If that is the case then you need to re-create the projects, if the .classpath and .project and .mymetadatafile files are in there, then you can just ‘checkout’ the projects and they will become the necessary project type.
I copied the directories the projects were in. I don’t know why the .project files aren’t there after copying them, but they aren’t. I didn’t remove them. I solved the problem by creating a team project set from and then importing that. I did notice something odd that may need to be looked at by the developers. I have package names with .tags. in the package name and all of the source directories, including “tags”, below that were omitted from cvs control when I committed the projects. Luckily I have the copies of the directories and could import them as a file system, it seems these should not be on the cvs ignore list.
