Getting the JBuilder Project Importer

The JBuilder Project Importer is an optional module for NetBeans IDE 5.0, so it is not in the standard download.

To download and install the JBuilder Project Importer module, launch NetBeans IDE and choose Tools | Update Center from the main menu. In the Update Center, navigate to and select the JBuilder Project Importer module, click the arrow button to add the module to the list of modules to download, and then complete the wizard.

Once you have downloaded and installed the JBuilder Project Importer module, you are ready to begin migrating a JBuilder project to NetBeans IDE.

The JBuilder 2005 Project Importer works best on general Java projects. For web application projects, Java EE projects, and Java ME projects, you may find importing JBuilder projects easier using the appropriate NetBeans new project template for creating projects with existing sources.
