First of all, apologies in advance for this newbie question...
I'm a fairly seasoned C++ programmer who is new to Java, I recently
downloaded the source for an Opensource application which was of
interest. By doing this I opened a large, and mildly frustrating can
of worms!
I've been trying for a few days now to figure out how to build the
project from the source, I have been unable to find the equivalent of
a Visual Studio workspace in the source that I downloaded.
In the root directory there are the following files:
..classpath (Not a filetype, thats the actual filename)
..project (Not a filetype, thats the actual filename)
..jardesc
..MF
There's also sub-directories that contain all the source, .java files.
Is there anyway I can tell what IDE I should be opening this project
in, I haven't been able to find an app that will read the .project
file. I thought it might be an Eclipse project, but that doesn't seem
to do it either.
ANY help (or pity) would be greatfully recieved!!! Many thanks in
advance for any help, advice, or flames.
PS: If it's helpful the .project files contents are included below:
