Import Android Test Project into Eclipse from Version Control

I have an Android Eclipse project and an associated Android Test Eclipse project checked into a subversion repository. Given a checked out working copy, how do I bring the Android Test project into an Eclipse workspace?

It's easy to add the Android project to the workspace (just File->New Project->Android Project->From Existing Source and point it at the directory in the svn working copy). But, the 'New Android Test Project' does not have an option to create from existing source.

Was searching for this functionality and didn't find it either :)

What I did in the end is this:

  1. Moved my existing test project directory (checked out from version control) to a temp dir
  2. In Eclipse I created a new empty Android Unit Test project, located it in the directory with the name of the original test project directory
  3. Closed Eclipse and copied a .classpath and .project files from newly created test project to a current root directory of old test project (in a temp dir)
  4. Removed a new empty test project directory, moved old one from temp location back to original location

Simply put, I just generated new .classpath and .project files and copied them to checked out project dir.

After cleaning and refreshing in Eclipse this worked out :) Of course this is not a real solution, but an ugly workaround which I even don't expect to work in any situation, but who knows, might help you. Cheers.
