There is no need to create a Java project and let unnecessary Java dependencies and libraries to cling into the project. The question is regarding importing an existing directory into eclipse

Suppose the directory is present in C:/harley/mydir. What you have to do is the following:

• Create a new project (Right click on Project explorer, select New -> Project; from the wizard list, select General -> Project and click next.)

• Give to the project the same name of your target directory (in this case mydir)

• Uncheck Use default location and give the exact location, for example C:/harley/mydir

• Click on Finish

You are done. I do it this way.
