Import an Eclipse project to IntelliJ IDEAYou can import either an Eclipse workspace or a single Eclipse project. To do this, click Open on the Welcome Screen or select File | Open in the main menu.
From the main menu, select File | New | Module from Existing Sources. In the dialog that opens, select the directory in which your sources, libraries, and other assets are located and click Open. Select Import module from external model | Eclipse and click Next.
In Eclipse, go to Window->Preferences, and select General->Appearance. You can change the font in there. I don't know what IntelliJ uses, but you can probably look it up in IntelliJ, and just match it.
A: Eclipse is better than IntelliJ for large and complex projects. This is because it indexes the entire project during startup. IntelliJ IDEA, however, outshines Eclipse when it comes to dealing with existing projects. In this case, IntelliJ IDEA delivers better performance than Eclipse.
I think there is no simple and quick way to do this. You need to deeply undestand plugin structure and plugin API of Eclipse and IDEA

first you need fully understand the plugin your are porting.

the sourcecode of intelliJ is very helpful when your need documentation of some functions or classes.
