I want to import my Eclipse projects into IntelliJ IDEA, so I went to the IntelliJ IDEA help page:
If no project is currently open in IntelliJ IDEA, click Import Project
on the Welcome screen. Otherwise, select File | Import Project.
Problem is there is no Import Project option on the welcome screen and there is no Import Project option in the file menu.
Any ideas how to do this?
I checked for updates and it's telling me my 11.1.3 version is the latest, even though the help page has 12.0 in the title bar.
In IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.4 you can import a project with the following existing sources:
Eclipse project (.project) or classpath (.classpath) file
Maven project file (pom.xml)
Bnd/Bndtools workspace (workspace/cnf)
Flash Builder project file (.project, *.fxp, *.fxpl)
Gradle build script (*.gradle)
Go to File → New → Project from Existing Sources… and a dialog will open that allows you to open one of the supported files or directories.
In IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 you can find the import option in the New Project dialog. You can find it at File | New Project.
In IntelliJ IDEA 11 you should use File | New Project, Import project from external model.
Also check that Eclipse Interoperability plug-in is enabled in Settings | Plugins.

What's the correct way to create a project in Eclipse from a github project which uses the parent/child pom construct, for example https://github.com/vladmihalcea/vladmihalcea.wordpress.com ?
I can clone/download it ok, but then do I need to manually create an eclipse project for each sub-project within or is there a better way?
(Googled the hell of out this question without finding an answer, but please feel free to post a link if you know of such.)
Use the Import feature of Eclipse.
Select File / Import ... from the Eclipse menu.
From the Import dialog window, Select the Maven / Existing Maven Projects wizard option.
Click Next.
From the Import Maven Projects dialog, choose the root directory using the Browse directory chooser.
With the directory choosen, the dialog will be populated with all available Maven projects. Check all the projects to be imported.
Click Finish.
I'm working on a Libgdx Projekt and unfortunatly i messed up and so deleted the Projekt in the Package Explorer (without deleting the Project Contents on the disk). When I now try to import my downloaded commit from GitHub Eclipse says "No Projects were found to import"
How can fix this issue?
With Eclipse Neon, once your project is cloned, use File > Import projects from filesystem.... This should detect possible import configurations.
I imported existing maven projects into my spring-tool-suite "eclipse" IDE but the projects folders doesn't show up in my workspace directory.
What might be the problem?
Thanks.
PS :: For instance if you import a normal java project into eclipse IDE you get the option of checking a box to copy the project into the workspace, but in spring-tool-suite there is no such option.
I have a number of projects in my Eclipse workspace, some of them plain ol' Java projects, some of them Java web applications, some of them Flash Builder Flex projects.
They all live in a directory hierarchy. How can I open all of them in IntelliJ IDEA to be able to migrate from Eclipse to IDEA? The projects reference each other.
You can create an IntellIJ IDEA Project from source using the Import Project in the main menu.
Select the eclipse .project file or .classpath then check Link created IntelliJ IDEA modules to Eclipse project files.
The official docs, here:
To import an existing Eclipse projects to IntelliJ IDEA:
Open the New
Project Wizard. Having selected the option Import project from
external model, click Next.
On the Import page of the New Project
Wizard, select Eclipse. Optionally, check the option Import into
current project. Click Next.
On the next page of the wizard, specify
the directory, that contains the desired Eclipse workspace. In the
section IntelliJ IDEA project and module file location, specify
whether you want to create IntelliJ IDEA module files in the same
directory where the Eclipse projects reside, or in a dedicated
directory of your choice.
Check the option Link created IntelliJ IDEA
modules to Eclipse project files to automatically synchronize the
Eclipse projects and IntelliJ IDEA modules.
Specify whether you want test sources to be imported.
Click Next. IntelliJ IDEA scans the specified workspace for projects.
On the next page of the wizard, select the Eclipse projects you want
to import. So doing, each Eclipse project is converted to a separate
IntelliJ IDEA module. Click Next. Specify the name for the new
IntelliJ IDEA project, and the location of the project files.
Select also the format in which the project will be stored. Click Finish.
If you select "Keep project and modules in" you could separate eclipse project and IntelliJ IDEA project files
I never did something like this, but after reading docs and playing a bit the options it should be the best way.
I imported a project into Eclipse and then deleted it, Now I am trying to import the same project once again, but Eclipse says Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace. I'm not sure how to import that project now.
Right click inside Eclipse Navigator view then use Restore from Local History... option to restore your projects.
