I cannot find "create project from existing source" in Eclipse Indigo while I am trying to create a "java project". When I select Java project and then next window comes up with options- User default location, JRE, Project layout, and Working sets.

I couldn't find a clue while searching for any possible change in UI of Indigo. Where can I find "create project from existing source" in Indigo?

Un-check the Use Default Location option and then Browse to select the parent folder of your existing source tree. Eclipse will automatically detect the existing files and folders, although you might have to configure the project to let it know what your source folder is; but the New Java Project wizard presents that option to you.
