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

[Vineet Reynolds (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12950834#comment-12950834 ] 

Vineet Reynolds commented on JBIDE-16312:
-----------------------------------------

The intention was to allow import of HMT projects that were once created in JBDS. Right now, I need to store the .project file in SCM (to retain the HMT nature), and {{import as an existing project}} (supplying the root directory). From the point of view of an end-user it would be great to find an "Import as HMT project" in the Eclipse Import dialog.

It does look similar to importing projects with the structure generated by Cordova-CLI. You could mark this as a duplicate of JBIDE-13649 if both of these issues would be served by the same feature.

> 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.
