OK. My experience is not exactly the same as the poster, but rather than ask a similar question and answer it myself, I'll add my two pennyworth here.

When I have tried to import a dynamic web project from work onto my home machine — both Eclipse projects — using

Import -> Existing Projects into Workspace

I have always ended up with a red exclamation mark against my imported project. Googling indicates that this means the project contains build path errors. Following the advice in the ticked answer above I

"Right click the project -> Build path -> Configure build path".

1. Delete the JRE System library entry using the Remove button.

2. Click the Add Library button and select JRE System library. I accepted the default Workspace default JRE.

So I don't have the reconstruction fag any more. (I assume there must be differences between the installations on the two machines, although both are running the same version of Mac OS.)
