    In Import you can select "Existing Projects into Workspace" and then select the old workspace folder, there you will see your old projects and can import them into new eclipse. – Harry Joy Apr 02 '13 at 05:33
  • Not able to select any of the options. – Veer Shrivastav Apr 02 '13 at 05:35
  • It says: "Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace" – Veer Shrivastav Apr 02 '13 at 05:35

    Do you have some projects with same name as old ones in your current workspace? Also take a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6715403/some-projects-cannot-be-imported-because-they-already-exist-in-the-workspace-err – Harry Joy Apr 02 '13 at 05:39

Go to import>Existing Projects to Workspace>Select Root directory

uncheck the "copy projects into workspace" selectbox, and then click "refresh" button, you will be able to import the project

A very common problem.
