M2M Studio allows you to import older SDKs - it successdully (it says) imported the Open-AT v4.24 and v3.13 SDKs for me.

But how can I import projects from these SDKs?

The “IDE V1” import option doesn’t recognise these projects. 😠

Did you try the File \> Import \> M2M Studio \> IDE V1 Project wizard?  
By making it point to a IDE V1 project folder (the one where you have the .scs file), it works fine…  
Some things are missing (e.g. symbols defined with -flag option), but globally it works.

I didn’t access it via that route, but it was the IDE V1 wizard (straight from the M2M Studio start page, IIRC).

I’ll check to see if that route makes any difference…

I tried it again - this time it worked! 😃

But it was via a slightly different interface.

I think this is an inherent “feature” of Eclipse, rather than M2M studio specifically - the way that there are different routes to end up at similar (but not quite the same) functions, and it can be difficult to find the same route twice! 😕
