You're getting stuck by several things at once. As it turns out GVC
is one of the trickier frameworks to just import into Eclipse because
they don't use the Eclipse incremental compiler. Their projects are
wired with the ant builder and they depend on a design-by-contract
preprocessor step. So what you're seeing is ant freaking out trying
to build the project and I'm assuming it can't find the ant plugins/
tasks necessary to actually pull it off. Their frameworks also
define several classpath variables that you need to set to allow it
to build. They may document the exact steps to import their
frameworks into Eclipse -- if anyone has docs, it's Chuck, that's for
damn sure.
Lastly, it would APPEAR that out-of-the-box the GVC frameworks (I
just attempted this import as well) trip some exception inside of
Eclipse itself. What you're seeing with the disappearing project
contents is that when you turn down the arrow, something inside of
Eclipse is throwing an exception in the processing of the java model
for that project. If you were to open the Errors View (not Problems
view -- Errors view, which is mostly a developer view that you don't
really need) you would see there are some crazy really low level
exceptions. I've honestly never seen these errors before, so maybe
Chuck can shed some light on his import process.
I would recommend starting smaller than this ... You're jumping into
Eclipse development by importing an enormous set of interdependent
projects (that use a custom build process). Go through the initial
tutorials first. Chuck has written some tutorials for importing
projects from Xcode, too, that you might want to go through. If you
want to charge headstrong into working with a big set of frameworks,
Project Wonder is actually probably an easier import. It's a very
"traditional" set of Eclipse/WOLips projects that should import and
build cleanly out-of-the-box (no ant dependencies, etc) either from
CVS/SVN or from the filesystem.

I'm trying to dive into Eclipse/WOLips and just to understand how a
full project is supposed to look w/ packages,etc, I downloaded GVC's
wonderful FrameWorks source. I can use the Import option in Eclipse to
import from these pre-existing projects. However, it starts to
immediately build them, having trouble the ant function and certain
lacking other frameworks. That's perhaps all fine and good. What gets
me is that every project (with an x on it now) has a pull down bar.
Clicking on the project in the package explorer "loses" the expansion
arrow and its empty.
Would someone who groks eclipse care to tell me whats going on with
this poor UI, and why I can't access any files that were just imported
and processed. It saw them, and now its telling me its all off limits,
so how can I fix anything?
