I have been using Netbeans for my java desktop application since few months. Now in the middle of the project, I want to switch over to Eclipse as the Netbeans once corrupted my GUI and I had to re-create several parts of the GUI and now it is displaying a compiler error as 

code too large
private void initComponents() {
1 error

“code too large” is a strange error. My code which it is saying too large is just 10,000 lines long. I came to know first time that we couldn’t develop long code in Netbeans 🙂

So instead of going into detail, I want to switch to Eclipse. I have never used it before. So could please tell me how to import my incompleted Netbeans project into eclipse.

    I dont’ know if there exists a plugin for that, but if you’ve used default Netbeans settings it’s likely the GUI layout code and form files won’t be compatible.

    What I suggest you do is first refactor your existing code to eliminate Netbeans-specific features, as well as making it smaller, and working.

    For GUI-stuff, you should create several classes and beans so that your main GUI file is much-much smaller. 10000 lines of GUI code is pretty much unmanageable.
