| <h1>Importing an Eclipse |
| Project from an Eclipse Workspace</h1> |
| |
| <P> |
| This section walks through the procedure of importing an |
| Eclipse project from an Eclipse Workspace. When using the option to |
| import Eclipse projects, NetBean will automatically determine any |
| project dependencies and import those as well.</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 Import Eclipse Project wizard. From the Import Eclipse |
| Project wizard, specify the location of the Eclipse Workspace. |
| |
| An example is shown below.</P> |
| |

| |
| <p><h2>Selecting the Eclipse |
| Projects to Import</h2> |
| |
| <P>Once you have specified the location of |
| the Eclipse Workspace, press Next to display the Project to Import |
| portion of the Import Eclipse Project wizard. |
| This portion of the wizard asks you which Eclipse projects you would |
| like to import and the location for the the imported project. |
| |
| <P>If there are project dependencies |
| between a selected Eclipse project to import, NetBeans will |
| automatically determine this and mark those dependent projects for |
| import also. In the example below, the MainProject was initially |
| selected, but since MainProject depends on the HelperProject it is |
| automatically marked for importing too. Notice the checkbox next to |
| HelperProject is also marked along with the checkbox for MainProject.</P> |
| |
| <P><img src="../../images_www/switch/EclipseProjectImportFromWorkspace_html_m4d8cc032.png" NAME="Graphic9" WIDTH=592 HEIGHT=337 BORDER=0><BR CLEAR=LEFT><BR> |
| |
| <P>To complete the Import Eclipse Project |
| wizard press the Finish button.</P> |
| |
| <P>If NetBeans discovers discrepancies |
| in the Eclipse project while processing the Eclipse project |
| information and believes it can resolve |
| those discrepancies automatically, NetBeans |
| will display a Warning dialog showing the Eclipse project |
| discrepancies it has found and the |
| corrective action NetBeans will take. 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 in order to resolve these Eclipse |
| project references. |
| |
| 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 is processing the Eclipse project |
| information. |
| |
| <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. For instance, you can immediately |
| use the NetBeans IDE Project Viewer to traverse the imported project(s) |
| or you can begin running your newly imported Eclipse project(s). |
| |
| |
| <p><h2>Viewing the Imported |
| Projects</h2> |
| |
| <P>Once NetBeans has completed the Eclipse |
| project import, you view the imported projects in NetBeans by opening |
| the Projects window. Below is an example screen shot of the NetBeans |
| Projects window showing imported Eclipse |
| projects called MainProject and HelperProject. Notice that NetBeans |
| has preserved the project dependencies.</P> |
| |

| |
| <p><h2>Running the Imported |
| Projects</h2> |
| |
| <P>Once you have imported your Eclipse |
| projects you can run them in NetBeans by opening the NetBeans |
| Projects window, right clicking on the project to run and selecting |
| Run as shown below.</P> |
| |

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