To import existing files

There are several ways of importing files into Eclipse. One method is to:

1. Click File > Import.
2. Follow the wizard. You can choose, among other things:
   • To import either files or Eclipse projects (click File System or Existing Projects into Workspace)
   • To import files from a remote server
   • Whether to copy the project into your workspace or refer to it in its existing location (check Copy projects into workspace)

Alternatively, you can:

• Use Windows Explorer to copy existing COBOL files into your project folder. In Eclipse, you will need to click File > Refresh to show the files in the Navigator view.
• Link to the source files, rather than importing them into the project. To do this, click File > New > Other > General > File and follow the wizard.
