This is very interesting indeed. May you post this important information on Wiki
> Hello,
>
> After spending hours trying to configure Eclipse, I learned that Eclipse has
> limited/poor support for Ant based projects and, hence, probably not the
> best option for OFBiz. On the other hand, NetBeans natively uses Ant for its
> project configuration. I succeeded in configuring OFBiz after several hours
> with NetBeans 5.0.
>
> It requires two steps. The first is to import an external Ant based
> ("free-form") project like OFBiz which takes a few seconds. The catch is
> that NetBeans' project still needs to be configured if one wants to use code
> assist and debugger capabilities. After few hours of trying that, I finally
> figured out what NetBeans wanted and then I was able to do the second step
> in 10 minutes. Anyway, if anyone wants to use NetBeans 5.0, use these two
> steps:
>
> 1. Create project: File-New Project-Web-Web Application with Existing
> Ant Script
> 2. Edit nbproject/project.xml similar to the one shown below.
