How to convert commandline source to a project for Netbeans

I tried my hand at java coding using the command line and word pad. Then I started Netbeans as I want to convert the java sources to a Netbeans project. Looked at import and a few other functions. Did not find any glaringly obvious method to achieve this.
How do I convert the code developed outside of Netbeans using the command line approach to a Netbeans project and vice-versa?

You may want to try the following ...
1. From existing source to netbeans project ...
Create a new project from
File > New Project > 1. Java > Java Project with Existing Sources > Fill in Name and Location >Next >Add Source Folder (your existing source location) > ...Finish.
of course, this just brings in the source files. You still need to do the rest of the project setup such as
1. where to find the libraries,
2. build path - location of the compiled .class files and so on.

You are welcome.
I guess we just need to find ways to get the best out of what is available to us.

Sorry mNem, I did not check before posting the reply. It was meant for the other question you responded to. I have now deleted it. I am going to try your suggestion.
