Importing Existing Projects

[tod]

I had a bizarre problem today. When I started Eclipse my workspace was empty. It was getting kind of messy anyway so I thought I would just rebuild it by importing the existing projects that were most current. I used the File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace option and my project seemed to import perfectly. I did a build and everything built. Then I went to run the project and got the dreaded java NullException error. Turns out when you import an existing project the target board setting is lost. Right click on the Project and select Properties then use the NetBurner options (as shown in the image) to reset the platform. Still faster than starting a new project.

Thanks Tod. Your posts and notes are always very helpful. I actually had this issue and ended up importing source files.
