  <title>Import a Project</title>

  <p>
    <app>Anjuta</app> does not have its own project format. It loads projects
    using already existing formats, like makefile or autotools, and does not
    require that other developers use it.
    Anjuta's own settings are stored in a file with the <file>.anjuta</file> extension
    and a hidden directory created in the project directory.
    To use a project in <app>Anjuta</app> and create these settings files, you
    will need to import the project. This will not modify any project files.
  </p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>
        From the <gui>main menu</gui>, select <guiseq><gui>File</gui>
        <gui>New</gui><gui>Project from Existing Sources</gui></guiseq>
        or <gui>Project from Existing Sources</gui> from the drop-down
        list of the <gui>New</gui> button in the <gui>top tool bar</gui>
        to start the project wizard.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        Select <gui>Import from folder</gui> if the project is already
        present on your computer, then select the project directory.
      </p>
      <p>
        Or Select <gui>Import from version control system</gui> if the
        project needs to be checked out from a server. Then select the
        version control system, the server address and the destination directory
        on your computer.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        After selecting an existing project, the <gui>Project name</gui>
        text box should be filled with the name of the project's directory,
        but you can change it.
        When it's done, click on the <gui>Import</gui> button to download the
        project if needed and create the files needed by <app>Anjuta</app>.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        <app>Anjuta</app> tries to automatically find the project backend
        used by your project. But if several backends are possible,
        you will get a dialog asking you to choose a project backend
        plugin. Read the project backend description to find out which one to
        choose.
