How to convert existing Java project to JavaFX project on NetBeans? - netbeans

I have a regular Java project on NetBeans 7.2.1 and I want to convert it to JavaFX project. Is there an automatic way to do that or do I have to create a new project and import my sources to it?

There is no conversion utility in NetBeans 7.2.1 to make a regular NetBeans java project into a JavaFX project - create a new JavaFX project and import your old sources into it.

How to use Netbeans plugin?

I'm using NetBeans 7.2.1 and I'm new to Java (but I program in C# for most of the time).
I recently downloaded, installed and activated a plugin (nbm file) from Java.net. I had been struggling on how to "Import" or "Package" it within my JFrame application in order for me to start writing the code.
Here is the link to download the plugin: http://java.net/projects/nbplugin-avr/downloads
Can some one please guide me on this, it is greatly different in C#.
plugins work on netbeans app. it adds functions to the netbeans IDE. plugins aren't classes you can import to your projects.
you should also check if that plugin is written for netbeans 6 or 7. netbeans 6 plugins dont work on netbeans 7

Using Netbeans Swing UI Builder with an eclipse project

I have an eclipse based Swing project and want to import that in Netbeans. the latest version 6.9 of netbeans does provide import of eclipse project, however the GUI builder does not act on the java files .Thus, we can't do a preview for the Swing UI for the imported project.

Netbeans GUI builder uses an intermediate xml file to generate java source (a file with ".form" extension. It cannot reverse engeener hand written java gui code.
Use WindowBuilder instead

Using both netbeans and eclipse to edit a netbeans project

Hi Netbeans is the default IDE at my workplace. I want to use Eclipse to edit the Netbeans projects. How easy or difficult is it to do this. Can someone outline the steps involved for this.
You should be able to import an existing project into Eclipse by:
File -> Import -> Choose General -> Existing Projects into Workspace
It won't pick up your Netbeans settings however. You may need to set your project up manually in terms of a libraries, source location etc..
Alternatively, if you're using Maven and Eclipse m2eclipse you should be able to import a Maven project and have it pick up most of the settings.
Importing an eclipse project should be easy (for Netbeans 6.7): File->Import Project->Eclipse Project
Or create a 'project with existing sources' which is available for Java, ruby, ...
