How to convert commandline source to a project for Netbeans

OTG-467455Nov 15 2017 — edited Nov 16 2017

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.
