What is the equivalent project file for a Java project? For example, a C# project file is denoted by the delimiter of .csproj. So what would it be for a Java project? Is it dependent on what IDE I am using for Java?
I did some search online about this and it seems to me that the answer to this question is dependent on the IDE. From memory, it seems to me, that all I have to do is drop the JAVA files into an IDE and then, somehow, a project file is automatically generated. I do not want to be steered in the wrong direction on this and so I want to first ask around for guidance.
