Step 1 : Click on File in toolbar and then select ‘Import…’.
Step 2 : An import popup will open. Now select General and then ‘Existing Projects into Workspace’.
Step 3 : Now in the new popup opened browse the project that you want to import and make sure it is selected in the ‘Projects’ list. Now under ‘options’ select ‘Copy projects into workspace’. Now finally click on ‘Finish’.
