Eclipse Help Required

Now, I'm more than happy to use emacs and ant to do all my work in (and frequently do) but so many people tell me that an IDE would make my life better in every way shape and form that I thought it was time to listen them. Again, because I occasionally flirt with them. Eclipse M5 has recently been released, so I decided to pick it up again. The fact that my primary machine runs OS X and the developer preview of the JDK 1.4 which has some "issues" with IDEA 3 has nothing to do with it :)

First question, if I have imported some code from CVS in Eclipse, how do I manage to convert the new project to a java project? Or should I ditch the entire thing and re-import it "properly" this time?

I see that MockMaker has an eclipse plugin, which solves one of my problems, but if any readers of this blog have some "getting started with eclipse" tips, then I'd appreciate a comment below!

After the CVS checkout I'd delete the project (but leaving the checked out files) then do New -> Project -> Java Project and specify the same directory as the project contents.

Then do Team -> Share project

Open the "Navigator" view. Open the ".project" file. Add

<natures> <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature> </natures>

Works for me...
