[Qt-interest] Qt - Eclipse - How open existing Qt project in Eclipse workspace?

[Ed Sutton]

How can I open an existing Qt project that is located in the Eclipse workspace folder?

I cannot figure out how to simply open an existing Qt project file ( *.pro ).  Opening the *.pro file directly opens the file itself and not the project.  If I try File->Import->Qt Project, it says:

"Cannot import pro-file from workspace location".

I was hoping Eclipse will provide a complete IDE and allow my to checkout a Subversion project then open the Qt project file, edit, compile, and debug.  Apparently Eclipse creates some hidden Qt project file that I cannot find.  The last time I tried Qt / Eclipse integration I gave up and went back to using Qt Creator.  This time I was hoping to become familiar with Eclipse for general C++  (maybe Java) software development plus the wealth of available plug-ins ( Subversion, etc ). 

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions,
