Eclipse and uPortal
If you are using a downloaded version of uPortal you should simply be able to add the uPortal project to your Eclipse workspace using the "File > Import..." command and selecting "Existing Projects into Workspace". Select the uPortal folder which contains the .classpath and .project files for Eclipse.
An [online video|http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~faizan/downloads/downloads.html] from Faizan Ahmed from Rutgers University is a helpful demonstration for importing uPortal into the Eclipse IDE
