I am using Netbeans 5.0 to develop a STRUTS based project. I searched these forums with keywords “Netbeans import” but could not find an answer, hence this new post.

Can someone help with how to import a Netbeans project into MyEclipse?

Thanks in advance,
Sunit

Sunit,
There is no direct support for importing other IDE projects into MyEclipse, but luckily the NetBeans project layout is an exploded WAR format which is very close to what MyEclipse uses as well.

All you need to do is create a Web Project, then drop the artifacts from your project into the proper folders. For example Java source goes into /src, your Web files go into WebRoot and and on down to the WEB-INF directory.

Thank you.

Basically I am new to Java based web development, with experience only in Perl, PHP and mainly Microsoft technogles. So I am not so familiar with ANT build etc. I have been using Microsoft technologies for many years now.

So basically I am a newbie at all this Java and JSP and STRUTS.

Netbeans has a simple Build and Deploy but MyEclipse does not have this. (or maybe it does and I dont know.)

So will I have to do anything special for builds like ant file etc.

Please guide and help. I would really really appreciate it.

thanks a lot,
Sunit

Sunit,
Yes MyEclipse supports all these functionalities but in a slightly different manner (every IDE has it’s particular “feel”). The best thing to do would be to first walk through this guide step by step:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/webprojects/

Then follow it up with walking through this Struts guide:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/struts/

After that you should be all caught up and rocking and rolling with MyEclipse.

Thank you for the help. I am reading up on the MyEclipse guide.
