Importing a JBuilder 2005 Project

To initiate an import of a JBuilder project using the NetBeans JBuilder Project Importer, choose File | Import Project | JBuilder 2005 Java Project from the main menu of NetBeans IDE. In the Import JBuilder 2005 Project wizard, enter the location of the JBuilder project file, a .jpx file, as the project to import, and a destination folder for the NetBeans project metadata. Then click Finish.

When a JBuilder project is imported, NetBeans IDE leaves your JBuilder project sources in their original location so you can continue to work with your project in JBuilder. However, if you change any project settings in JBuilder, these changes are not updated in the NetBeans project.

If you change project settings in a JBuilder project that you have previously imported into NetBeans using the JBuilder Project Importer, you can import the JBuilder project again with a new NetBeans project name.

If NetBeans IDE cannot find references to resources in the JBuilder project selected to be imported, the JBuilder Project Importer wizard asks you to specify the JBuilder installation directory so it may be searched for the missing resources. Alternatively, you have the option to skip this search and complete the project import. However, if you choose to skip the searching of missing resources, the imported project may not work properly after importing.

After clicking Finish, a NetBeans project will be created for the selected JBuilder project. In addition, NetBeans projects will be created for dependent projects if they exist.
