Description Michel Graciano 2009-07-21 13:58:59 UTC

[ BUILD # : 200907150227 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]

When users starts the IDE and ergonomics are turned on the option to
import Eclipse project is not available and user should turn on Java
features to make this feature available. IMO it is an usability
problem and should be fixed since new users are not warned about
ergonomics feature.

Comment 1 Michel Graciano 2009-07-21 14:07:56 UTC

I updated wiki page http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqImportEclipse about the workaround.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2009-07-22 00:52:27 UTC

Problem in ergonomics, not in projectimport.eclipse.* modules as such.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2009-07-23 16:23:21 UTC

Steps to reproduce, please. After booting the IDE with empty dir I can see File/Import/Eclipse Project...

Comment 4 Jaroslav Tulach 2009-07-23 16:55:27 UTC

Potentially (if my idea of steps to reproduce will match your description) this will be fixed due to changes made in 
bug 168558
