| <H1>Import an Eclipse Project Ignoring Project Dependencies</H1> |
| |
| <P>This section walks through the procedure of importing an |
| Eclipse project while ignoring project dependencies.</P> |
| |
| |
| <P>To initiate an import of an Eclipse project, ignoring any project |
| dependencies that may exist, select the File > Import Project > Eclipse |
| Project menu in the NetBeans IDE. This will display the Import Eclipse |
| Project wizard. From the Import Eclipse Project wizard, select the |
| option <i>Import Project Ignoring Project Dependencies</i> and specify the |
| Eclipse project to import and the destination folder. |
| |
| An example |
| is shown below.</P> |

| </P> |
| <P> |
| After specifying the Eclipse project to import and the |
| destination folder, press Finish |
| </P> |
| |
| |
| <P>The NetBeans Eclipse Project Importer |
| is rather sophisticated in its processing of Eclipse projects. For |
| instance, if the NetBeans Eclipse Project Importer discovers Eclipse |
| project discrepancies while processing the |
| Eclipse project information and believes it |
| can resolve those discrepancies, NetBeans |
| will display a dialog showing the Eclipse project discrepancies |
| it has found and the corrective actions NetBeans has taken to handle |
| those Eclipse project discrepancies. If you see this dialog, there is |
| no additional work required by you. The dialog is meant to be an |
| informative dialog to let you know the NetBeans Eclipse Project |
| Importer has found discreprancies in the Eclipse project NetBeans is |
| importing. For more information see <A HREF="eclipse-discrepancies.html">Handling |
| Eclipse Project Discrepancies</A>.</P> |
| <P>If |
| the NetBeans Eclipse Project Importer discovers problems in an |
| Eclipse project such as a project resource that could not be found, |
| NetBeans will display a Reference Problems warning dialog along with |
| appropriate actions for you to take to resolve these Eclipse project |
| references once the project has been imported into NetBeans. This |
| dialog is presented to the user so that he or she may correct |
| problems that have been detected in the Eclipse project while the |
| NetBeans Eclipse Project Importer was processing the Eclipse project |
| information. See <A HREF="eclipse-references.html">Handling |
| Eclipse Project Reference Problems</A> |
| for additional information.</P> |
| |
| |
| <P> |
| If there were no Eclipse project reference problems |
| discovered by NetBeans during the Eclipse project import which |
| require a resolution, you may begin using the NetBeans IDE on your |
| old Eclipse projects you have just imported. For instance, you can |
| immediately use the NetBeans IDE Project Viewer to traverse the |
| imported project or you can begin running your newly imported Eclipse |
| project.</P> |
| |
| |
| <p><h2>Viewing the Imported Projects</h2> |
| |
| <P>Once NetBeans has completed the Eclipse |
| project import, you view the imported project in NetBeans by opening |
| the Projects window.</P> |
| |
| <P><img src="../../images_www/switch/EclipseProjectImportIgnoreDependencies_html_mb2d9652.png" NAME="Graphic1" WIDTH=215 HEIGHT=195 BORDER=0><BR CLEAR=LEFT><BR> |
| |
| <p><h2>Running the Imported Projects</h2> |
| |
| <P>Once you have imported your Eclipse |
| project you can run it in NetBeans by opening the NetBeans Projects |
| window, right clicking on the project and selecting Run as shown below.</P> |
| |

| |
| That's it! As you can see, migrating Eclipse projects to |
| NetBeans is very easy with the NetBeans Eclipse Project Importer.</P> |
