Open eclipse svn project in netbeans

Question

Hey SO

OK my problem is quite simple

Im about to start working with a team of programmers, and we are using a svn repository to store our code, thy files are set up as Eclipse Project as the rest of my team all like eclipse.

However I am die hard netbeans man, I have tried eclipse Iv given it some time but we do not gel as they say.

So my question is there a combination of plugins /hacks that i can use to access a Eclipse Project from an SVN repository inside Netbeans , without corrupting the eclipse project or causing problems for the rest of my team (I would rather suffer eclipse than do this to them)

Many thanks ^_^

Answer 1

In NetBeans 6.8 under File > Import Project there is both Eclipse Project and Resynchronize Eclipse Projects. I'm guessing this can be used to work together with people using Eclipse.

UPDATE: How the eclipse import function works.

Answer 2

As NA pointed out, there is a way to import your Eclipse projects into Netbeans. However, arguably, you shouldn't be checking in IDE-specific files into your repository unless you can guarantee everybody is using the same IDE. Otherwise, I would recommend only checking in the source code, resources, and additional libraries and keep the specific files on ignore and have each individual setup their own environment.

Another alternative, is to check in the IDE-specific files in a different folder in the repository so that an individual can grab them if they need them.
