How can I import NetBeans project to Eclipse and vise versa? [closed]

Question

1. I would like to know what's the best easiest and best way to convert Netbeans projects to eclipse and vise versa.

2. If I will develop a swing app in Netbeans Will I be able to convert it completely without problem to eclipse?

3. Do you know where can I get some plugin for eclipse so it will have the same nice functionality as the visual designer we have in Netbeans?

Thanks

There is a dist folder inside NetBeans workspace, containing a .war file. Import this war file into Eclipse. For this; Open eclips IDE > Go to File Menu => Import => War Above step will make package structure in Eclipse workspace similar to NetBeans. It’ll also prepare configuration file. Now you need to place source files only. For this Go to src folder inside NetBeans folder => Copy all contents => Place them to src folder inside Eclipse folder. Right click on Project name in right side panel of Eclipse IDE => Refresh

If you use maven, you can generate eclipse project files using mvn eclipse:eclipse. NetBeans can import maven projects directly.
