Invalid project file

CW 10.2, HC9S08LG32 Win32x64

This is a hard error for me--happens every time even after a fresh CW install. But I don't see any complaints. I must not understand how to import a project, even when CW is leading me by the nose.

From the Welcome screen I choose [Project Importer]. I browse for the project and choose one I have been recently using. I open it and choose .project (It doesn't give me a clue what kind of file to pick, but it only takes .project or .cproject). If I choose either one I get [Invalid project file]. Tried on more than one project.

Maybe that is the reason for my recent problems with "Error importing Task" and "NullPointerException."

I inherited the project and received it as a zip-file. After unzipping, CW couldn't see it no matter what I set my workspace to. And if I tried to "import" it I always got "invalid project file.

So I built a bare-bones project then copied the source files into the Sources folder using Windows copy-and-paste. The eclipse tutorial said I could do this. That project hasbeen working just fine. Until I recently copied it and started using the copy--and got all kinds of' "Error importing task" and NPE's and MC9S08LG32.xml getting truncated to 0 bytes.
So I want to move it out of my workspace and away from my .metadata file. This should be a good project file, I know the history, but it won't import. Looks like I'll have to start with just the sources again.

Hello,

the 'Project Importer' from the welcome screen imports 'classic' projects (*.mcp) from the non-eclipse version of CodeWarrior.

Anyway, that importer only works for very simply classic projects, so I rather do not use it at all.

To import existing eclipse projects into your workspace, use File > Import > General > Existing projects.

There are other ways too (like drag&drop or archive files).

See http://mcuoneclipse.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/exporting-and-importing-projects-in-eclipse/

Hope this helps,
