Created attachment 286021 [details] I want to learn Eclipse, but it is terribly unintuitive, clunky with Bugs Hello I apologise if I sound rude, However I have to say this has to be the biggest joke I have ever encountered in software engineering since starting out five years ago. I have wasted 5 days trying to get a simple Hello World with the Java EE IDE. But the worst thing, is there is no way to open an existing project. When I try to open an existing project in my workspace, Firstly I go to file -> open projects from file system: I end up on the most confusing and cryptic window, which makes no sense Firstly it takes me 10 minutes to understand the window with a simple option, then when I click on the directory button as I am importing from a directory It literally does not allow me to choose the root project folder, it gives me some weird cryptic message saying I must choose a folder with at least one directory? I am forced to choose the base folder for all projects, then they all get imported in at once, I cant even choose one at a time, what if I have 50 projects & I dont want to open all of them? Things are supposed to be made simpler not complicated, There should be a simple button and an option to select the folder of your project, simple thats it, Instead of this. I am being forced to go back to intelliJ as this just does not work
Hey, Peshotan, Every new product comes with a learning curve. However, once you get it, it's easy ;) I tried your use case but I can select any folder just fine. I can even select the root of a totally empty folder and it imports without issues. You say you get an error message. What is it? What specific content is in that directory that might block the import?
