1. Select the existing project (or one of its subfolders) in Eclipse
2. File -> Import...
3. Select "File system"
4. Press "Next"
5. Browse to select the directory from which you want to import files
6. Press "OK"
7. Select the two files you want to import
8. You might want to select "Create selected folders only"
9. Press "Finish"
