All of those software examples are meant to be used in the software build tools flow....command line, not IDE.

You're welcome to read up in the handbook regarding this flow, but (for now) all you need to know is that you 'cd' to the project's location and type 'make'. To download & run, you'd type:

'nios2-download -g <project>.elf && nios2-terminal'

The "&& nios2-terminal" might not be necessary. To debug, you'd have to import the project into the IDE and debug in the normal fashion.

All of this should be documented, so I recommend you start doing some reading....
