Description Pavel Rehak 2005-01-25 13:33:53 UTC

In eclipse you're able explicitly bind non-java 
files with your project and they are visible in 
project structure.
It can be a bit confusing for NB users if such a 
files are not imported as part of NB project 
(altought such a project is compilable after 
import. i didn't find single usecase which could 
damage import from enclipse in meaning of non-
compatability).

In general NB doesn't support binding non-java 
files with the project - its just for your 
consideration.

Could you please provide an example Eclipse project or just describe how to create one? I'm not sure what you mean by
"bind non-java files with your project". Thanks, David.

Possibly the reporter meant that files outside a src/ dir but inside the project dir should be visible. But this is true
even when importing into NB, if you create the NB metadata inside the Eclipse project.

For the case that you create NB metadata externally, this is really a special case of issue #140344.
