are m2m studio project files type .project or .cproject extensions?  
if yes, im importing such a file with the included source files. however, the “generated.c” file does not have an associated header. if i navigate to this file through the project explorer, the IDE throws a null pointer exception and freezes.  
if i recreate a header file for “generated.c”, the error is thrown nonetheless.

Open AT project files are: .project file / .cproject file / .settings directory.  
When you’re moving/exporting/archiving/sharing project, you have to take care to grab these files together with the sources.
