I am pretty new to GitHub.

This is my problem: We (4 people) are working on a Java project. Two of us are using NetBeans and two of us are using Eclipse. Let`s say 1 person created a project from Eclipse and pushed the project into the repository. Now, I want to clone the repository and work on the project. I can successfully clone the project and I can see all the files that we have in the repository. However, I cannot run the project. In fact, when I am cloning the project, NetBeans asks me for creating a new project. I do not want to create a new project but I want to work on the same project that I am able to run it.

What is solution?

I recommend to commit the Eclipse project meta-files (.project, .classpath and may be the .settings directory) and the NetBeans project meta-files (I don't know the corresponding meta-file names for NetBeans).

From your problem description it seems the NetBeans project meta-files are missing in the github repository. Hence, NetBeans doesn't recognize the cloned repository as a project.
