Click Next. The Check Out As dialog box appears and displays two checkout options:

Check out as a project configured using the New Project Wizard: This option allows you to create a new Eclipse project file using the New Project Wizard. Eclipse creates a new .project file.
Check out in the workspace as projects: This option allows you to use an existing .project file to create the new project. This option is selected by default if a .project file is detected in the workspace you selected in the previous step.

Note: The .project file must have an AccuRev status of (kept) in order to be detected.

Select the project checkout option you want to use.

Complete the Project Name field or leave it as displayed:

If you selected the Check out as a project configured using the New Project Wizard option, the AccuRev workspace name is used as the default Project Name. You can change this name or leave the default.
If you selected the Check out in the workspace as projects option, the Project Name is taken from the existing .project file. This name cannot be changed and the Project Name field is disabled. For more information, see How New Eclipse Project Names are Taken from Existing .project Files
