I have previously created a personal web page in another program and which to further work on this web page in myeclipse. However when I try to open it up from the place I created it I get this message “the myeclipse HTML editor may not be used to open an external file” that first line is followed by another line that says “would you like to continue opening up the file with the default XML editor. Yes no ” then answering yes I receive another era message. “Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure: myeclipse HTML editor has been closed and replaced with the default XML editor.” As I can not merely cut and paste the large number of files involved in re-creating my web page in myeclipse I search for another answer.
I search for the place where web pages I created in myeclipse reside. This yielded the following path. “C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\workspace\play” than copying all all my web page files to this location “C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\workspace\WEB_SIT_2005” I still am unable to use myeclipse. How do I import my old project into myeclipse successfully? Also does myeclipse have FTP to server capabilities? when I create a new project in myeclipse there is a space for a URL would putting the URL of my FTP server give me FTP capabilities with myeclipse?

Not currently.

This is actually the context root for your project in your app server, for example, /myapp, it’s not a real URL in the sense that Dreamweaver or Frontpage may ask you for your “Site URL”.
I’d like to prefix all my suggestions by saying MyEclipse is intended to be a J2EE IDE, so if you are only doing straight webpage development, you may need to tollerate some “strangeness”.
First let’s create a new Java Project for you, even though we may not put any Java code into it. File > New Project > Java Project. Give it a name, and down under Project Layout select the 1st choice (Use project folder as root…). Now hit Finish.
Now drag and drop ALL your existing HTML files into the root of this project, you should be all set now.
NOTE: The directions above are used to help you get up and running with MyEclipse in 30 seconds or less AND most importantly I’m assuming you have no Java code in your project nor is it a Web Project. If you do have Java code in it or do wish to make it a web project at some point, let me know and I can guide you through those steps, but for a straight HTML/Javascript hobby site the directions above should have you editing in under 1 minute.
