Importing an Eclipse or JBuilder Project

See Also 

You can import projects created in other IDEs, such as EclipseTM or JBuilderTM, into the NetBeans IDE.

The functionality to import Eclipse projects is included into the standard NetBeans IDE distribution. For Eclipse projects, you can import a set of dependent projects from an Eclipse Workspace or import a single project ignoring dependencies.

For JBuilder projects, you would need to install the JBuilder Project Importer plugin from the NetBeans Update Center. For JBuilder projects, you can import a standard Java SE project with dependencies.

To import an Eclipse project into the NetBeans IDE:

  1. Make sure that you have copy of the project that you want to import on your system.
    Typically, this project would already be in an Eclipse workspace on your system.
  2. Choose File > Import Project > Eclipse Project.
