How to Make the Switch

These step-by-step guides will walk you through making the switch from another IDE to NetBeans.

Switching to NetBeans

Step by Step guides for migrating various kinds of projects to NetBeans 4.1.

Switching from Other Java IDEs to NetBeans 4.1

If you want to do an automated import of an Eclipse project using your existing Eclipse project Java source files, then use the File Import command from the Import Eclipse Module available from the Welcome Screen of NetBeans IDE 4.1. The NetBeans Eclipse Project Importer is a recent enhancement that has been made available with NetBeans 4.1. It greatly simplifies the task of migrating projects from Eclipse to NetBeans.

To find out how to switch to NetBeans from other Java IDEs, read How to Import Eclipse Projects into NetBeans IDE and How to Import a JBuilder Project into NetBeans IDE.
