Importing NetBeans IDE projects too Eclipse IDE - mikebail - May 30, 2013

Hey guys, I started working on a game a couple days ago and as I have been doing more work with pixels I see my hate for netbeans. So I would like to bring my NetBeans project over to Eclipse.

Please help

I'd try to make a new project, navigate to the workspace, and move the source folders from netbeans into the new eclipse project source folder? May work, may not. Good luck.

It did not work :( Thank you for the suggestion though!

Possibly some one else can enlighten me with some insight.

Did you refresh Eclipse after adding the source in?

Hey guys thanks for the input, I found a 100% tutorial of how to do this here.

I will post it here so it will be archived

Code
PART I - NETBEANS

1) Open NebBeans.
2) Create a java project named "ToEclipse".
3) Build this project.

Then, NetBeans has created several folders. The important folders to us are (in my computer):

a) "c:\User\Almir\NetBeans\ToEclipse\dist"
b) "c:\User\Almir\NetBeans\ToEclipse\src"

PART II - ECLIPSE

1) Go to Eclipse.
2) Create a java project in Eclipse named "ToEclipse".

Then, Eclipse has created several folders. The important folders to us are (in my computer):

a) "c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\bin"
b) "c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\src"

PART III - WINDOWS EXPLORER

1) Go to Windows Explorer.
2) Copy the FILE "ToEclipse.jar" at "c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\bin" folder.
3) Past it in "c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\bin"
4) Copy the FOLDER "toeclipse" at "c:\User\Almir\NetBeans\ToEclipse\src" folder.
5) Past it in b) "c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\src" folder.

PART IV - ECLIPSE

1) Go to Eclipse.
2) Press "f5"to refresh the view.
3) Verify that your project is there (under "ToEclipse/src/toeclipse").
4) Say "Oh! Yes! It works!".
5) Run the project.
6) Return to 3) how many times you want!
