Use Ant build.xml file, in the New Project dialog select the "Java Project from Existing Ant Buildfile" option.
To manually load an existing project:
1) Create a new project, using the appropriate project kind (perhaps a Dynamic Web Project in your case)
2) Using OS tools, copy the existing files into the new project's directory. You can do this a a single copy which retains your original directory structure, or you can be more selective and copy directories of files to new locations. For example, I often rearrange the directory structures of old projects to more closely align with the basic Maven directory structure.
3) Back in Eclipse, select the project and hit F5 - that will refresh the project and the files now show up.
4) Do any necessary cleanup such as identifying the Java source directories.
