After re-installing eclipse, I am attempting to import some previously existing projects which are stored on OneDrive for convenience.

After I select 'Import Projects' from the 'File' menu, and then select the 'Select root directory' radial button, I see my Project listed under the Projects window. However, I am unable to select the checkbox next to my project name. Similarly, the 'select All' button does nothing.

How can I select my project and complete the project import process?

    if project is already imported in workspace then you can't import that's why it's not allowing you. – pratik patel Feb 25 '20 at 04:38
  • @pratikpatel thank you, but if that's the case then how can I access the project? When I attempt to click on the project in the workspace explorer on the left I get the following error: "The project description file (.project) from 'Program 1' is missing. This file contains important information about the project. The project will not function properly until the file is restored." – Trixie the Cat Feb 25 '20 at 05:10

    See if you deleted .project file. – Arundeep Chohan Feb 25 '20 at 07:06
  • @arundeepchohan after checking both the metadata folder as well as the actual project folder, I can see that the .project file does exist in both places, however I am still getting the ".project file missing" error unfortunately – Trixie the Cat Feb 25 '20 at 21:27

    Ok then Delete the project (Not from disk space). Then File-> New-> Project -> Provide Name and Source destination and it should work. – Arundeep Chohan Feb 25 '20 at 23:24
  • @arundeepchohan Thank you, this worked for me. If you care to post an answer I will be glad to select yours as best. Thanks again! – Trixie the Cat Feb 25 '20 at 23:48

  • arundeep chohan's solution worked for me. I will add that, after deleting the projects from my workspace, I was able to re-import them using: File -> Import... -> Existing Projects from Workspace -> Next -> Select root directory -> Browse -> MyProgramFolder -> Select Folder -> Finish. Much thanks to arundeep chohan – Trixie the Cat Feb 26 '20 at 00:07
