Cconvert Netbeans project to Eclipse project

Question

I have developed a very big Java application in NetBeans. Now I have Eclipse IDE, and I want to migrate my project from NetBeans to Eclipse IDE. Is there any procedure for that?

Please give me an advice for configuring NetBeans project into Eclipse IDE.

Answer 1

I don't think there is a full automatic process for that.
This answer summarizes it well:

The best thing for you to do is go through the tutorial in the Eclipse Help that teaches you how Projects are configured in Eclipse, including examples of several types of typical existing-project situations.
That will give you the base understanding to successfully set up your project in Eclipse.
The "From Ant build file" import is a nice attempt, but you have to realize it can't possibly interpret every kind of build, especially when it is not obvious what targets are really interesting.
Go through the tutorials in Help Contents > Java Development User Guide > Getting Started. They are simple and short enough but will get you very far.

For more advanced Netbeans projects (not exactly your situation, but I mention it there just in case), there was a SOC proposal

The plugins models for Eclipse and NetBeans are very similar yet different.
This project would provide the ability to run and embed a minimal NetBeans environment within Eclipse -- as Eclipse plugins-- , and support running NetBeans plugins like Matisse (Swing UI painter) or Coyote (dynamic languages toolkit).

But it didn't go very far: Matisse4MyEclipse is much more mature.
