A project cannot be imported.
This article contains possible solutions, if you are experiencing difficulties when importing projects.
If you do not want to import the entire project but only parts of it, follow the instructions as given under "Importing objects and folders".
Symptom 1:
In the wizard to import, no directory can be selected to which the project should be imported. Only folders of opened projects are listed for selection. If there is no project in the project explorer, no folder at all is listed for selection and the wizard displays the message Cannot import into a workspace with no open projects. Please create a project before importing.
