At least with Indigo (3.7), I have found it much more convenient (and quicker) to simply open the .settings folder in the Package Explorer, and delete all the files in that folder. If you are nervous about taking such a drastic action, make copies of those files in some other folder before deleting.

Then open the project’s properties; click on the Project Facets node. All facets will be available for selection. You’ll have to do additional configuration for some facets, but that’s just par for the course.

(Editing the .classpath and .project files is much too fussy and error prone. I used to do it before discovering the above trick, but was never satisfied with that approach. Of course, the “right” way would be to have the eclipse crew formalize such a conversion in their menus, etc., as they do for JPA, for example.)

Thank you for the article! Just what I was looking for.

I was afraid I was going to have to check out the whole thing again or go rooting around in some config… I’m glad it was as comparatively simple as checking the right facets, once I read what you had to do.
