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

Try the Eclipser plugin

http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin?pluginId=7153

Eclipser will automatically convert Eclipse launch configurations into IntelliJ IDEA configurations

However it currently (as of November 2014) supports only very limited number of launch types:

• local Java application (...)
• program launch (...)
• Maven launcher (...)

See https://github.com/kukido/eclipser/wiki for details.
