How Can I import a project in Netbeans?

Question

I downloaded this example: link

Unzipped, but I can't inport in Netbeans because no globe icon before the file icon.

Answer 1

Delete the .settings , .classpath and .project folders from the project you have downloaded from github as these folders are created when this project was imported in eclipse IDE. To import this in Netbeans first delete these folders then load this project as new Netbeans web application project.

Answer 2

The accepted answer will work. But here is the alternative and easy way.

In Netbeans clik on Files > Import Project > Eclipse Project .

Now select Import Project ignoring Project Dependencies and choose source folder of your Eclipse project and the destination folder to import.

Click on Finish . That's it now the Netbeans will take care of importing and converting Eclipse project into Netbeans project.

PS: You can also import project from Eclipse workspace if any exists.
