I have download a Java web project from the Internet and now I want to do some changes in it. It is not getting opened in NetBeans. Can anyone help me?
This is the folder structure of the project:
Based on the folders/files .settings, .classpath and .project this looks like to be an eclipse project - not like a NetBeans project.
If you still want to use NetBeans File > Import Project > Eclipse Project ... should be the way to open it in NetBeans.

I have set up an eclipse workspace. Inside this workspace i have a dynamic web app cloned from repository. My working directory looks like following.
I am seeing a different hierarchy in Eclipse project explorer. My project explorer looks like following.
Ideally it should show src, WebContent, build.xml etc. inside java resources but it shows entire project folder inside java resources.
Troubleshooting I tried:
1. Delete existing project from project explorer and import the project again.
2. Pull the changes in local copy and refresh the project from project explorer.
3. Change the working directory and import a new project.
None of this seemed to resolve the problem.
Appreciate if someone could help me with the root cause and a solution to this.
I am new to Ant. I have an existing Ant project and imported into Eclipse without any issues.
My actual project structure is as below outside eclipse:
But after importing into eclipse, I can see only src folder and build.xml and referenced libraries folder. I could not see other folders inside eclipse. It is web application and EAR file is created.
Do i need to convert the project as eclipse project to see all the folders? Like eclipse:eclipse for maven projects is there any command for Ant projects? Please help me.
Thanks!
I am trying to import the projects I made on other machine. So I copied the workspace folder from other machine into current PC and replaced the default workspace folder that was created when I installed fresh eclipse. After replacing workspace, when I try to import the projects from the workspace, I get error "Invalid Project description".
What should I do to import all my projects in eclipse?
Thanks
I've found that when I try to import an existing project into my workspace, it only works if I select the General->Existing Projects into Workspace. If I select Android->Existing Android Code into workspace then I have an issue where it doesn't import properly.
Maybe you are facing a similar issue.
Try the following:
File >> New >> Android Project
Then choose:
Create project from existing source
And put your project path
OK try this, Zip your project folder. File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace->Select archive file
or

How to import existing Android project into Eclipse?
File->Import->General->Existing Projects into workspace
This works perfectly. Try it.
For anyone, if the above doesn't work for you, you may want to check that the .classpath and .project files are there. I had a similar experience where I was trying to import my project files' from my svn working copy. However, it shows up as a greyed out unselectable project. Copying .classpath and .project file from a local backup made it work.
I was facing same issue.
Eclips cannot import project if it is already exist in workspace. Double check if you already have a project with same name.
How can I import an IntelliJ IDEA project into Netbeans?
I know I can just use IntelliJ but I prefer Netbeans...
With this particular project I can't just copy the source directory into a Netbeans project... That doesn't work?
How may I use this IntelliJ IDEA project within Netbeans?
The nbproject is a required folder by NetBeans, where it keeps its project settings. The only necessary project build files needed are the project.xml and project.properties.
In project.xml, line 5 is changed to reflect the accurate name of the user's project. Also for IntelliJ, nbintellij.iml is the required file.
So for a IntelliJ project, if you create the nbproject folder with the required files (project.xml and project.properties), you'll be able to open the folder in NetBeans
You can use the following tool I've created to convert an IntelliJ project to NetBeans, and also convert a NetBeans project to IntelliJ. Please make sure you have python installed.

Short answer: I don't believe such a tool exists.
Longer answer: You probably should not be relying on a proprietary format for your project. Depending on the project, Ant+Ivy or Maven may be a better solution.
I had a Java project in Netbeans IDE, which I had to move to the Eclipse IDE. As we all know, the folder structure of both these IDEs is different. I already had the Netbeans version of my project checked-in on SVN repository.
Now, I want to use the same SVN location to check-in the Eclipse version of the same project with the same name. Since I created a brand new Eclipse Java project on my local and just copied the source files from Netbeans to Eclipse, I obviously do not have the '.svn' folders in my project.
How to do this?
Thanks!
just take your "eclipse" project and copy it back over the netbeans one - then commit the result
you will get both in 1 folder (if i understood your setup correctly)
