A resource must exist in a project within Eclipse before you can use it in a build. If you want to use an existing resource from your file system in one of your projects, the recommended method is to use the Import wizard. To do this, select Import... from the File menu.
If you want to use a resource externally from Eclipse, the recommended method is to use the Export wizard. To do this, select Export... from the File menu.
There are several options available in the import and export wizards:
- General
This option enables you to import and export the following:
archive zip files
selected source files and project sub-folders
files containing workbench preference settings.
You can also import existing projects into your workspace.
- C/C++
This option enables you to import the following:
C/C++ executable files
C/C++ project settings.
You can also export C/C++ project settings.
- Remote Systems
This option enables you to transfer files between the local host and the remote target.
For information on the other options not listed here, use the dynamic help.
