Hello all

To the point.
I deleted CMSIS_CORE.... library from the workspace but my project still needs it. How to import it back?
I tired to do file->Import->General->Existing projects into workspace but the library is greyed out.
I tried to create new project with that library but it is also greyed out.

I spent an HOUR trying to import the library and I failed. I find LPCxpresso very unintuitive, really....

Thanks in advance....

There is a option  "Edit->Undo delete Source"  use this and deleted source files will be shown again in the project if files not deleted from disk.

Did you refresh the workspace? F5

Unless you delete the file from the file system, all you have done is tell Eclipse to ignore it.

I don't remember if I was asked or not.

What I find unintuitive is that the library was hidden in the workspace even though it was deleted from the disc. Well, maybe it's just me but it was hidden very well, I had to dig deep through the menus to find it. 

Anyway it's only my opinion....

Thanks for help and fast replays. I finally managed to import it.

It turned out that deleting the library from the workspace doesn't delete it from workspace.
I had to go to Window -> Show View -> Other -> Navigator and delete it from there. THEN I was able to import it again.

Doh! Why is it so unintuitive?

Probably it's easier to create a new workspace as described in LPCXpresso video or User Guide...

I click on Import project(s) -> project archive -> browse then I choose "CMSIS_CORE_Latest.zip" and click "Next" and I see a list of projects. The one I deleted is still greyed out (It says that "Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace").

If it's completely deleted, import it again...

I deleted it from the disc as well. How do I add the library to the workspace? When I create new project the library is still greyed out.

Did you remove the library from the workspace or did you delete it from disk?
