Working with CCS5 projects in CCS6

I am trying to import my CCS5.5 project into CCS6 and I am getting this error:

Import failed for project 'MyProject' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted.  Please contact support.

    Hi Fulano,

    how did you import the project? Did you go to project->import ecisting ccs/eclipse project?

    Best regards,

    Lisa

    Yes, that's how I imported it.

    Hi Fulano,

    without further details it may be hard.   Did you try deleting the .metadata?   Would you be able to share the project (even if offline - my ID is a link you can use for a friend/conversation request)?

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    There is no . metadata in the project folder, there is only .metadata in my ccs6 workspace.

    Unfortunately, I can't share the project ... but I have tried with other projects and this seems to happen when importing CCS5.5 projects into CCS6

    I had to just create a new project, and import all my source.  Now it can load correctly in CCS5.5 or CCS6

    I found a similar issue when I was trying to import the example bootloader project into CCS6.

    To get around this issue, I deleted the full workspace directory and started everything over again.  It seems that if you have ever had a project with the same name in your workspace (which I had a year ago) -- even if you have previously deleted it, CCS will just fail to import it for this mysterious reason.

    Another way to work around this issue is to grep for the secretly-repeated project name in your import-project and change it to a new name.

    For instance, I wanted to change the name of the TI boot loader from boot_uart to boot_uart1

    To do this, I had to change all of the instances of boot_uart to boot_uart1 in the following files:

    RM48/boot_uart/.cproject

    RM48/boot_uart/.launches/boot_uart.launch

    RM48/boot_uart/.project

    RM48/boot_uart/Debug/boot_uart.map

    RM48/boot_uart/Debug/makefile
