Q:

Can't run project in eclipse after adding to repo.  Not a java project

I set up my github account and egit.  It works really well.  I have learned the staging, committing, push/pulling ... pretty much. 
Unfortunately (Juno) Eclipse is not recognizing FoobarProstate as a Java project.  It says FoobarProstate is simply a project.  When I click the green run arrow I get the error message 

The selection cannot be launched and there are no recent launches. 

I created the project in Eclipse, imported it with the wizard using File > Import > Git > Projects from Git.  That might be my mistake. 
This is what I see in the Eclipse Package Explorer. 

What I've tried:

Right click on project name > Configure gives me one option: Convert to Maven Project.  I don't know what that is and I don't think I want that. 
Green run dropdown arrow > Run As gives me (none applicable). 
I can't figure out the online instructions to change to a project to a java project. 

In the answers I've found online, it says to change the run configurations (Green run dropdown arrow > Run Configurations...).  But the instructions are either not for Juno, or difficult to follow.  I'm really confused. 
Notes:

In the github view of my repositories, it says "Java" next to this repo's name!  The repo has the same name (FoobarProstate) as my Java project. 
My FoobarProstate files are stored in C:\Users\EmilyBB\git\FoobarProstate.  This is not my Eclipse workspace (C:\Users\EmilyBB\workspace).  Is that a problem? 
I just installed Android stuff (ADT etc.) 

Thank you! 

A:

The problem is likely that somewhere along the way, the original .project and .classpath files were lost.   Together they indicate that the project is a Java Project and what its Java Build Path--including where your sources are within the project.   Not physically being under the workspace directory should not be an issue. 
The .project file contents should look something like this:
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? >
<projectDescription>
    <name>YOUR project's name</name>
    <comment></comment>
    <projects>
    </projects>
    <buildSpec>
        <buildCommand>
            <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
            <arguments>
            </arguments>
        </buildCommand>
    </buildSpec>
