[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16312) Support importing of Hybrid Mobile projects into workspace

[Gorkem Ercan (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12950830#comment-12950830 ] 

Gorkem Ercan commented on JBIDE-16312:
--------------------------------------

An Android project or a maven project has a defined runtime structure. In the case of Cordova every platform has a different structure so it is hard to come up with a logic to decide on what to import. The only project structure related to Cordova is Cordova CLIs structure. If this is a request to import CLI projects I will mark this as a duplicate of JBIDE-13649. 

If the intention is to be able to create a cordova project from a bunch of web artifacts and optionally a config.xml then this is a new and large request.

> Currently, to import a Hybrid Mobile project, I need to import it as a plain Eclipse project, while ensuring that the original Eclipse project file (.project) is present that contains the desired project natures.
> If the .project file is disallowed in version control, then this becomes a bit tricky since the .project file needs to be recreated.
> It would be better to allow support for importing an existing directory into the workspace as a Hybrid Mobile project (like importing existing android project, existing maven projects etc.) via the Eclipse Import menu.
