Recreating Workspaces from GIT?

In a previous thread, the advice was given that when placing an LPCXpresso project on a SCCS (like Git), only "the project folder" should be placed under source control. This sounds perfectly reasonable, except my firmware consists of two projects:

So in order to "simulate" a colleague trying to collaborate via SCCS, I deleted the .metadata directory and moved the entire workspace to a different location. I then opened LPCXpresso, entered the new location of the workspace directory, and I am faced with a completely empty workspace:

How do I reconstitute the workspace to its former state? IIRC MS Visual Studio projects have a simple, standalone, easily identifiable, relative-path-based workspace definition file on the top level directory which makes this problem trivially easy to understand and solve. What's the corresponding LPCXpresso solution?

PS./ I understand that lpc_chip_11uxx_lib is an unmodified library provided by LPC, I'm open to recommendations regarding standard practice for inclusion in SCCS, or standard practice for indicating the dependency.

You need to tell eclipse about your projects, so you need to import them. Use the Import existing project option.

However a far more convenient way to work with git in eclipse is to use the eGit plugin
