Why “no projects found to import”?

Question

I am trying to \"import existing project into workspace\". As the \"root directory\" I select the directory where all my .java (and .class) files are located. Eclipse writes

If you don't have I just have .project and .classpath files in the directory, the only way that works (for me at least) with the latest version of Eclipse is:

1. Create a new Android project
   • File -> New -> Project... -> Android -> Android Application Project -> Next >
   • Fill in the values on this page and the following according to your application's needs
2. Get your existing code into the project you just created
   • Right click the src file in the Package Explorer
   • General -> File System -> Next >
   • Browse to your project, select the necessary files, hit Finish

After this, you should have a project with all your existing code as well as new .project and .classpath files.
