I have java application source, but I don’t know which IDE was used to create it. I would like to build this project with less setup changes as possible. How to know this project was build using Eclipse or NetBeans?
upd:
there are two xml files in root directory called app-checks.xml (this file contais reference to Eclipse plugin and Puppy Crawl) and pom.xml (this file contains reference to maven). There are no .nbproject or .classpath/.project files in whole project.
Which IDE is best to use to open this project?
Thank You
If you see some files like .classpath, .project in the project directory then it is probably created using Eclipse. If it was created with NetBeans, you would find some file named like .nbproject.
As for the new question of which IDE is best, there are tons of wars around which IDE is best. I prefer Eclipse, others prefer IntelliJ IDEA, others prefer NetBeans or others. They all know to open a Maven based project. For instance, I use the m2eclipse plugin for importing to Eclipse workspace.
