No response in Eclipse: File ->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace

Question

I'm trying to import one of the GWT samples into Eclipse by following the instructions below. But when I browse to the directory containing the "Hello" sample and uncheck "Copy projects into workspace", the Finish button is grayed out, preventing me from completing the import. Any ideas why?

-- Option A: Import your project into Eclipse (recommended) --

If you use Eclipse, you can simply import the generated project into Eclipse. We've tested against Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4. Later versions will likely also work, earlier versions may not.

In Eclipse, go to the File menu and choose:

File -> Import... -> Existing Projects into Workspace

Browse to the directory containing this file, select "Hello". Be sure to uncheck "Copy projects into workspace" if it is checked. Click Finish.

Solution

I also encountered this problem but got through it using following steps.

First open up a command prompt and go inside to the project folder using cd command.

then execute this command in there. Be sure to install apache ant before doing this.

ant eclipse.generate

this will generate .classpath and .project files

now you can import the project into the workspace just as normal way. file->import->general->existing project
