## Creating a Workspace from existing source

1. Choose 'Workspace|New Workspace' from the menu.
2. Select 'Core Java Workspace' from the listbox. Enter the directory, where the project files should be saved.
3. Drag & Drop (or use 'Workspace|Mount Directory') one or more root directories containing the source of your project. Choose 'Project Source' from the 'Add Directory' Dialog
4. Mount all libraries for which you need coding assistance using 'Mount Directories'. You can also mount .jar files if the source is not available. Mark them for parsing. Use Drag & Drop (or use 'Workspace|Mount Directory')
5 [optional] Add Misc Directories related to your project (e.g. ressources, documentation).
6. Your workspace should look like this now. Note that the icons of the directories reflect the settings: Library (parsed for coding assistance, but not compiled), Source (parsed for coding assistance, gets compiled), Directory (plain file browsing).
Choose Preferences|Directories to change the order of the directories or make other changes. Note that you can easily change the settings of a directory by using the popup menu 'DirProperties'
7. [optional] Update the source index if not done automatically. Click on the progress bar below the editor to open the source indexer window.
8. [optional] Set the output directory, where the compiled classes are stored if the default doesn't fit.
9. Set the classpath. (Use the '..' buttons to open the path editor).
11. [optional] Compile your project ('Workspace|Build All Workspace Files'), then configure one or more mainclasses to run and debug.
