WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS:

Copying an Eclipse project from one directory (let's call it old_dir) to another directory (let's call it new_dir):

1. Open Eclipse and specify the copied working directory in your new_dir.

2. Once it opens the project in the this new_dir, the projects listed under Project Explorer Tab might still be the ones contained in the old_dir (you can check it by right clicking each and following through: "Resource -> Linked Resource" to see the Path Variables values). Thus, they have to be removed from this work space. Delete the Nios 2 Application Project and the BSP Project from the Project Explorer Tab by right clicking on it and selecting Delete option which will pop a new window. In the pop-up window, make sure that the Delete project contents on disk check box is UNCHECKED before clicking OK to delete the Projects. Otherwise, it will delete it from the old_dir where you copied the project from.

3. Right click in the Project Explorer Tab Area → Import → General → Existing Projects into Workspace and add the copied Nios2 Application Project and the BSP Project from the new_dir.

4. Right click in the Project Explorer Tab Area → Index → Rebuild, otherwise the Nios2 Application Project will not be able to use the includes provided by the BSP Project.

5. Click on Project → Clean → OK to clean and rebuild the whole project.

6. When using console to talk to the NIOS, make sure elf's path is updated to the new project directory as well!
