How do I run an Eclipse launcher file in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

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

Answer 1

IDEA doesn't support importing Eclipse .launch files.

A workaround is to use the third-party Eclipser plug-in.

Eclipser can convert the following Eclipse launch configurations into IntelliJ IDEA run configurations:

• Local Java application Eclipse launcher
• Program launch Eclipse launcher (converted into external tool in Tools menu)
• Maven launch configuration
• Remote Java application Eclipse launcher
• Ant launch configuration
