There should be a new project wizard for existing Eclipse project, which should detect the Eclipse project configuration and attempt to construct a NB j2seproject with more or less matching semantics. Could place NB metadata (such as nbproject folder) directly inside Eclipse metadata folder, or somewhere else. Could have checkbox to remove Eclipse metadata (.classpath) from source roots at the same time - off by default (but should probably add .classpath to default file ignore list).
What is the status of this work?
Ups, I didn't know about this issue. Sorry, reassigning to me.... The module should be complete and it is now tested by Pavel Rehak. I'm waiting for the first report. It was already added to Alpha AU under the infrastructure category (not sure if it is right one). But it seems that there are some problem last 5 days or so and module is not up-to-date. The safest version can be build from trunk with: ant -f ide/projectimport/build.xml nbm and install it manually to the current build. The final specification is little different from proposal in this issue. First draft is here: http://ide.netbeans.org/projectimport/specification.html So I think this is issue can be closed. The bugs and enhancment should be reported under new category in IZ. Is that category already known Honzo, Marian? PS: I've just realized that I probably have to increase module version to force build system to rebuild NBMs. But I'm not sure, I will check it today with some people and correct it (if it is the case)

There should be fresh version on Alpha AU after the next automatic NBMs build. There is also new category in IZ - Component: ide, Subcomponent: project import.
I started to prepare test specification (according to UI specification mentioned above) with package of validation eclipse projects importable to NB. Expect first reactions next week. I also contacted few eclipse users to test importer on real projects.
