Handling Eclipse Project Reference Problems

If the NetBeans Eclipse Project Importer identifies an Eclipse project reference problem while processing an Eclipse project, a warning dialog box is displayed. This dialog box reports the project reference problem and suggests the corrective action you should take. Figure A-5 shows an example of this warning dialog box.

To resolve these detected Eclipse project reference problems, go to the NetBeans Projects window, right-click the project that has just been imported, and select Resolve Reference Problems from the contextual menu (see Figure A-6).

After you select Resolve Reference Problems, the Resolve Reference Problems dialog box (shown in Figure A-7) is displayed, identifying what NetBeans has found for Eclipse project reference problems.

The NetBeans Resolve Reference Problems dialog box describes the Eclipse project reference problems the project importer has found in the imported Eclipse project, along with a suggested solution. To resolve the discovered Eclipse project reference problem(s), simply click the Resolve button. Although the project importer cannot automatically resolve all problems it has found with Eclipse projects, it does give you suggested solutions as to how to resolve the Eclipse project reference problems it has found.
