Eclipse Not Importing Projects

  1. Close eclipse
  2. Delete the .metadata folder
  3. Restart the eclipse
  4. Eclipse will ask for new work space location
  5. Provide a FRESH location
  6. Now import the projects one by one
  7. Don't select the option of "Copy projects into workspace"

See if this helps.


A eclipse project have some hidden file an folders, like .classpath, .project and .settings

If your folder have not this files is not a eclipse project


I have had encountered this problem before, and the solution for me has been to recreate the workspace.

Just delete the .metadata forder, this will reset all your workspace setting!.
