How to import Eclipse projects to IntelliJ IDEA?

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.

  • Maven project file (pom.xml)
  • Bnd/Bndtools workspace (workspace/cnf)
  • Flash Builder project file (.project, *.fxp, *.fxpl)
