working project in eclipse from svn

When I create a new project in Eclipse from SVN all the files are created not under src directory therefore I cannot build project. What is the correct 开发者_JAVA技巧way to create Eclipse project out of SVN?

I checkout the project using the svn repo browser (window > open perspective > other > SVN repo exploring). Then I check it out from trunk, see below. In that folder is the src and eclipse .project file. At checkout time you can change the name of the project. If it's a branch I typically append the version, e.g. project_v2 so it's easy to work on multiple branches simultaneously.

The project definitions in Eclipse are stores in the .classpath and .project files.

If I understand you correctly, you are creating the new project using New Projects --> Checkout projects from SVN dialog. This checks out the project files but does not necessarily create the project definitions (they may or may not be included with the SVN dump).

You can create another dummy project of the same type e.g. Java, Android, etc. Then go to the dummy project's folder and copy the .classpath and .project files to you new checked out project's folder. Then edit the .project file and change the <name> element to the name of your project. Then refresh the project.

Any other sources or libraries can be configured by right-clicking projects and setting sources, etc in Build Path.
