Importing and Exporting in Eclipse

You may find you want move your projects between work and home, or school and home, however with every project being contained in the workspace folder how do you achieve this?
1. Simply have your entire work space on usb and access it from the usb.
2. Follow this tutorial and copy and import a folder
You should have a project called HelloWorld from the previous tutorial we will export this.

Exporting

Click File->Export

Choose "archive file"
Tick the project your want exporting, and give it a filename (.zip)

A click finish you have now exported your project!!!

Importing

I created a quick HelloWorldImport project as a demonstration. Since HelloWorld already exists on your computer and you cannot import a project which already exists.

Download HelloWorldImport.zip [1.5kb]

Click File->Import

Choose "existing project into workspace"

Click "select archive file"
Browse for the zip file you just downloaded
The project "HelloWorldImport" should now appear in the list, click Finish

Notice:
If you project does not appear it may already exist, you may have to delete it and try again

Remember

Export as archive, import as project :-)
You cannot import an existing project, so right click on the project explorer first and delete project and files... make sure you have a backup though!!!
