EclipseToNetBeans

We had started the EclipseToNetBeans project last year because we wanted to show Eclipse folks that the transition could be smooth- that the curve won't be steep.

The Eclipse project importer plugin has been enhanced (http://blogs.sun.com/amitsaha/entry/enhanced_eclipse_project_importer_plugin) and boasts of features such as:
  • Synchronization of changes after the import. NetBeans project created as a result of import keeps a reference to its Eclipse source. Any relevant change in Eclipse project (at the moment only classpath is monitored) is automatically propagated to NetBeans project during project opening or can be explicitly requested via project's popup menu (Synchronize With Eclipse). In future this may be extended to propagate changes done in NetBeans back to Eclipse
  • Eclipse Dynamic Web project can be imported now
  • Eclipse user defined libraries are imported to NetBeans library catalogue
  • Eclipse user defined variables are setup in NetBeans
  • Test source roots are detected
  • Compiler options are imported
  • JDK configuration is imported
  • and lot of bugfixes
So, this is good news for us- as we have more scenarios to cover and thus more docs to write.

We also need people to update the existing documents with Eclipse Ganymede and NetBeans 6.5.

Drop me a word.

Hi Amit,

I liked the new look of the blog very much. This is now more content centric and without any dark colors which were acting like distractors for me.

I am interested in the Eclipse Migration project and will try to contribute some more in this project.

All the best.

With Regards
