I have a Eclipse .launch
file that a developer has created to set up the classpath, vm and program arguments from a XML file that Eclipse uses to launch the program.
I want to be able to run this file in IntelliJ IDEA but is there an automatic way without manually creating the settings?
IDEA doesn't support importing Eclipse .launch files.
Try the Eclipser plugin
http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin?pluginId=7153
Eclipser will automatically convert Eclipse launch configurations into
IntelliJ IDEA configurations
However it currently (as of November 2014) supports only very limited number of launch types:
- local Java application (...)
- program launch (...)
- Maven launcher (...)
See https://github.com/kukido/eclipser/wiki for details.
Eclipser developer is here. Thanks to @jean-michel-garcia for the answer above. I would like to add that as of today, Eclipser supports the following formats:
- Local Java application Eclipse launcher
- Program launch Eclipse launcher
- Maven launch configuration
- Remote Java application Eclipse launcher
- Ant launch configuration
And I'm working on JUnit launch configuration conversion. Give it a try.
steps to launch eclipse launcher in intellij
- download the plugin
- install it in intellij
- restart intellij
- right click .launch
- click "convert with eclipser"
- check run/debug configurations, an new application process should be added
- check working directory is correct or not, if not fix it
- run that process, eclipse launcher can be executed
For thouse, who wants to launch .product file in idea - see this manual
