In Eclipse when creating a Java Project from existing source the wizard automatically configures the JRE and project layout based on the existing source. Similar behavior in NetBeans would make it easier to move to NetBeans. In Eclipse it does the following: 1. File->New Java Project. User provides the root directory for the Project. Click next. 2. Eclipse wizard automatically selects the appropriate JRE. 3. Eclipse wizard automatically selects the source folder. 4. Most importantly - Eclipse wizard automatically adds all jar files under the Project Root directory to the new Project's library path. 5. Also Eclipse wizard allows the user to choose an output folder. In NetBeans the output folder is always called build by default. Similar behavior in NetBeans as outlined above would be hugely beneficial.
