Open/import existing Angular2 project about angular-eclipse HOT 9 CLOSED

If I do File>Import I cannot see "existing angular project", like with gradle or maven. If I have an existing project how the import is done?

Not sure why this is closed !
This does not answer the OP question. I am having the same requirements.
How do I import an existing Angular2 project created by another tool into eclipse as "Angular2 project" ?

from angular-eclipse.

I'm sorry but I don't understand very well your problem?

It would be nice, if I can import a previously created Angular2-eclipse project

You can do that today, no? What is your problem?

Sorry, I wasn't enough clear and maybe mixed 2 things:
1: I created a new Angular2 project, then I removed from the eclipse workspace and I searched the open project at wrong place: I tried File->Import instead of File -> Open project. So this part is fine.

2: After I created a new Angular2 project I added to git and ignored .project file. Then deleted project a from local and pulled it again from git repo. This is my real problem: I can't find any feature called like 'new Angular2 project with existing source code', so I created a new Angular2 project in the same folder. This triggered an unwanted 'ng init' command and I had to stopped the process manually. Instead of this it could be more useful if the project wizard optionally calls 'npm update' to get all dependencies.

I hope, this is enough clear now.

Why? If you do that you will have problem too with Java project, or other project kind.

If you use Import / Git / Project from Git, it will create an empty .project after import. The only thing that you will loose is the TypeScript Builder, otherwise it will work since Angular2 Eclipse, TypeScript IDE doesn't use Eclipse nature.

I simply opened the project in eclipse. It worked. File-->Open Projects from File System

from angular-eclipse.

Using Open Projects will result in the project imported being closed and unable to be opened.
This is due to lack of .project files.

The reason to ignore .project related files, is because of people that follow a pattern to make code ide agnostic.
With a java project this is resolved by using maven, which would be used to generate .project etc.
But there's no solution like with importing angular projects.

So when importing bulk angular projects (that dont contain ide dependant configuration files), for each project you have to create a new project that links to the content. This is cumbersome.
So yes the sane solution to this is to for each project go and create eclipse .project files and make the project ide dependant.
Which breaks the pattern.

Previously, the solution could be to use angular ide, which now is not recommended and deprecated.
And so that leaves the cumbersome solution, or the pattern breaking one.

(necro becuse it's what comes up)
