How to import an erlang project, from cloned GIT repository via EGit?
I have cloned a git repo, using egit in eclipse. the repo is visible in the "Git Reopsitory Exploring perspective"

- I right click on my repo -> Import Projects...
- "Use New Project wizard" -> Finish
- Choose erlang project -> next
Enter project name -> Next

Now when I click "Discover Paths..." i get the below error message. What could be the problem? What am I doing wrong?

If I skip the "discover Paths..." step then it works ok and my project is created, but then I need to manually add all my src and include folders (it's a very large project) which is a pain. Perhaps also add a "Discover Paths..." option from this view as well?

Hi, the "discover paths" functionality works if the source code is already checked out, I suspect that when using the wizard from the git repository view not everything is known to eclipse yet.
Soon, I will commit changes that will allow to discover paths from the project properties dialog and even better, enable to detect configuration from rebar.conf or Emakefile (if present).
Looking forward to the new changes :)

By the way, would be nice to have an "Import Erlang projects..." or "Import Rebar projects..." options in the GIT Repository Exploring (when right clicking on a repo), similar to how it is done for Maven projects.

Good idea!
