Import IntelliJ project into Eclipse [message #780940] Thu, 19 January 2012 23:30 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi guys.
I'm going to move from IntelliJ idea to Eclipse.

But I can't solve a problem with package names and physical location of files.

In IntelliJ idea I am able to map any folder to any package names
so I am able to create any hierarhy of files.

e.g. I have 2 folders and 1 java file like this
my/
    | 
    folder/
          |         
          +-MyClass.java


and I can map it to the package named "com.anypackagename".

Is it possible to do something like this in Eclipse?

I managed to export my project from IntelliJ Idea and import in Eclipse,
but Eclipse doesn't like package names because those java files have different physical location.

Appreciate any help.

Deepak is right regarding the import. However, you can manually
configure it - might be some work though, depending on how many such
packages you have. Let me know if that's an option and I can give more
details if needed.

Actually there are 3 java packages but a few hundreds java files that are under different folders.

Could you explain please how it can be done manually ?

For each leave folder on disk you need to create the structure with
virtual folders and then create a link for each file.

For the example given by you this would mean:

1. choose (or create) a source folder (can also be the project) but must
be a real folder located on the Java Build path
2. select that folder
3. File > New > Folder
4. enter "com" as name
5. click the 'Advanced' button
6. select 'Folder is not located in the file system (Virtual Folder)'
7. click 'Finish'
8. select that new folder
9. File > New > Folder
10. enter "anypackagename" as name
11. click the 'Advanced' button
12. select 'Folder is not located in the file system (Virtual Folder)'
13. click 'Finish'
14. on the file system (outside Eclipse) go to my/folder
15. select all the files and DnD them onto the 'anypackagename' folder
