Tutorial : Importing Eclipse Projects into NetBeans IDE

The Import Eclipse Project Wizard
NetBeans IDE 6.5 introduces an enhanced Import Eclipse Project wizard. This wizard enables you to use NetBeans to work on Java desktop and web application projects that were created in Eclipse and MyEclipse.

After creating a NetBeans project from an Eclipse project, you can work in the following ways:

• Use NetBeans on a team project where other developers are using Eclipse.

• Use NetBeans and Eclipse interchangeably on a project.

• Try out NetBeans on an existing project that was set up in Eclipse.

How the Import Wizard Works
When you import a project, the IDE analyzes the Eclipse project metadata and then creates a NetBeans project based on that metadata. The project import does not impose changes on the Eclipse project structure, so it does not interfere with the way the project works in Eclipse.

Once you have the project imported, you can use either or both the NetBeans and Eclipse IDEs to edit, build, run, debug, and profile the project. If you make a configuration change in the Eclipse project, you can resynchronize the NetBeans project. This enables you to work on projects in NetBeans even if everybody else on your team is working with Eclipse. The build path that you set in Eclipse remains the master build path for the project...
