Convert Eclipse Regular Project to Java Project

Posted on April 26, 2010 by Jianming Li

In Eclipse, regular project can be converted to Java project by editing the .project file as follows.

  <buildSpec>
    <buildCommand>
      <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
    </buildCommand>
  </buildSpec>
  <natures>
    <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
  </natures>

A cleaner way

* Delete existing project without deleting existing files.
* Create new Java project from existing source.
