Was trying to import my SAP Hybris projects into Eclipse Workspace via Import->General->Existing Projects Into Workspace. But as soon as I give the path of my custom folder to import my Eclipse gives the error Some projects cannot be imported because their project description file is corrupted. And the same files are working perfectly fine for my other teammates.

ErrorOfScreenshotWhileImporting

Tried creating a new workspace and importing projects again, but nothing helped.

Also, here is the snippet of the error I can see in the workspace .metadata/log directory.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 4 567 2022-06-30 21:08:52.444
!MESSAGE Failure occurred reading .project file.

  • if the files are corrupted, the files are corrupted. what do you expect us to do about that? – Stultuske Jul 07 '22 at 06:05
  • for the other teammates the same files are working perfectly fine – rak Jul 07 '22 at 06:18

    Look in the .log file in the workspace .metadata directory to see if there is a more detailed message. [Edit] your question to show us the extra detail. Show us the `.project` file for one of the failing projects. – greg-449 Jul 07 '22 at 06:32

Here .project file was missing the ending tag:

</buildSpec>

Adding the tag to the .project file of the corrupted project resolved my issue.
