Is project import broken on Eclipse Helios?

Question

Hi dunno if this question been asked before. Anyway I have an project setup on Eclipse Galileo at school, and wanted to move the project to my home computer so I can continue the work. The Eclipse version I'm using though is the latest one (Helios), and it seems it can't interpret a project created with Eclipse Galileo. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

I copied the project by just copying the project folder.

There's no project to import when I go to `Import > Existing Project into Workspace` — starcorn, Feb 04 '11 at 15:57

What error are you getting?

Look in your .project and .classpath files which can be found in the root of your project. There may be references to a JVM or paths that don't exist on your home computer.

I just checked it, and there are no `.classpath` or `.project`. It must have been missed when I compressed the project into tar? – starcorn Feb 04 '11 at 15:59
Yes, if you ran tar with *, it wouldn't include dotfiles. – dogbane Feb 04 '11 at 16:01
just fixed, I copied some existing files and modified it a bit. And it works now – starcorn Feb 04 '11 at 16:02
