Trying to load it into the new Eclipse (which isn't purple anymore - now ADT green). Found the .pdf in the instructions from the download and have gone through it but it seems that the new Eclipse has changed a bit. The step whereby you select "create project from existing source" is no longer available. I have been trying to figure this out but haven't had any luck. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

'create application from existing source' was discovered down in my 'Other...' menu choice. Try looking there.
