Eclipse example project nRF52

Question

Hi 
 I tried following the eclipse installation tutorial: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ 
And after a while I got eclipse to handle the Nordic stuff, but when I try to import a project there is no armcc folder in my SDK. I tried loading an existing project and then manually adding all of the sources. It does recognize all of the imported header files, but nothing actually matches up. I have 124 errors, everything that is not pure C is an error. I tried to find an example project for eclipse that I could try importing but I found none. Does anyone have at least a blinky project that I can directly import into eclipse from a archived file or something like that? I'm not sure if its just the project broken, or I messed up the installation, or some version of something changed which affected the installation.

Using Eclipse, to import an example file from the Nordic tutorial: 
 
 
 Download the example, say to Download/foo.zip 
 
 
 Start Eclipse 
 
 
 Choose File>Import. Expect a dialog titled "Import" to open. 
 
 
 Select (click on) "General>Existing projects into workspace". Choose the "Next" button. Expect another dialog saying "Select a directory to search for existing Eclipse projects". 
 
 
 Select the radio button "Select archive file". Choose the "Browse" button. Expect a file chooser dialog to open. 
 
 
 Browse to and select the file "Downloads/foo.zip". Choose the "OK" button. Expect the file chooser dialog to close and for the previous dialog to reappear, now with the "Finish" button enabled. 
 
 
 Choose the "Finish" button. Expect the dialog to close and for a new project to appear in the "Project Explorer" pane of Eclipse. 
 
 
 I tested this with Eclipse Neon version on Linux. It might be slightly different with other OS or version of Eclipse. 
 You might still need to edit the Makefile if you did not follow the tutorial exactly with respect to where you downloaded the SDK, which SDK you downloaded, or other matters. For example, today the tutorial only has an example project for blinky and SDK11. If you try to use SDK12 with that example project, you might need to edit the Makefile (because the filenames changed, and the SDK changed.) The recommendation is to follow the tutorial exactly.
