Can't run project in eclipse after adding to repo. Not a java project
I have set up my github and egit account. It works really well. I learned about staging, locking, pushing / pulling ... pretty much.
Unfortunately (Juno) Eclipse does not recognize FoobarProstate as a Java project. It says FoobarProstate is just a project. When I click the green arrow, I get the error
The selection cannot be started and there are no recent starts.
I created a project in Eclipse, imported it using the File> Import> Git> Projects from Git wizard . This could be my mistake.
This is what I see in the Eclipse Package Explorer.
What I have tried:
-
Right click on the project name> Configure gives me one option: Convert to Maven project . I don't know what it is, and I don't think I want it.
-
The Green run> Run As dropdown menu gives me (not applicable).
-
I cannot understand the online instructions for going to a project in a java project.
The answers I found on the internet says to change the run configuration ( green run dropdown> Run config ... ). But the instructions are either not for Juno or difficult to follow. I am really confused.
Notes:
-
In the gitub view of my repos, it says "Java" next to that repo name! The repo has the same name (FoobarProstate) as my Java project.
-
My FoobarProstate files are stored in the C: \ Users \ EmilyBB \ git \ FoobarProstate folder. This is not my Eclipse workspace (C: \ Users \ EmilyBB \ workspace). This is problem?
-
I just installed Android stuff (ADT, etc.)
Thank!

Probably the problem is that the original .project and .classpath files were lost somewhere along the path. Together, they indicate that the project is a Java project and which Java build path it is — including where your sources are within the project. Not physically under the workspace directory shouldn't be a problem.
The content of the .project file should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>YOUR project name</name>
<comment></comment>

<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
