Download Java source files from VSS

Have you installed a VSS plugin to Eclipse? Why VSS, anyway? It's awful, costs money and isn't particularly suited to java projects. I'd suggest [url=http://subversion.tigris.org/]subversion[/url], [url=http://subclipse.tigris.org/]subclipse[/url] and maybe even [url=http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/]tortoise[/url]

The one I used (briefly) didn't give the option of importing, there was a VSS View. Don't know if you're using the same one, though. It was pretty flaky, too, and didn't always work. You're probably better off using the Microsoft VSS client to check the projects out, and then using "Import existing projects into workspace". That's what we always did, when I worked with VSS.

Do you need to use VSS in particular? If you can possibly manage it, try and move the projects into some other SCM, like CVS or Subversion
