Can the Eclipse Force.com IDE create a force.com project from an existing folder? I have the files pulled from source control but it doesn't seem Eclipse supports it.
I know Mavensmate can do it but can Eclipse do this as well?

You can right click on the project, go to Force.com and click on "Add Force.com nature".

Perfect solution. I had to import the files from git first, like what Nick Cook said, and then added the Force.com Nature. Commented Aug 25, 2016 at 16:45
I have not seen any built-in UI for that.
I suggest these steps:
- Create a Force.com IDE project from a new or existing org
- Pull the files from your source control system into the src folder of the project folder (that you can find by right-clicking on the project and looking at the Properties that include the Location)
I came across this as well, and it requires a slightly different process to usual.
You'd want to use the Import feature (File > Import).
If you're using Git, you can select 'Projects from Git', then 'Existing local repository', and go from there.
You can also use this to pull a project from a remote repository.
