Anthony, you are right. Looks like NetBeans build scripts are architected in such a way as to prevent Eclipse from understanding them. Too bad. (Note that I never said I had actually done this, I simply recommended to simranjeet that he(?) try it...
)
But this worked for me:
1) create a new Java project and identify the NetBeans project directory as the location
2) identify the Java source directories
3) add an ant builder to the project using the NetBeans build script.
I used a web app as the
test case.
