Hi, I also needed to convert Keil project to Eclipse. I was very annoyed after doing it the same conversions over and over again, therefore I made a special tool for it. I use it for converting STMCube projects to Eclipse and it works great! It also works with NXP MCUs.

Can't say I agree that Eclipse "provides more friendly interface" than Keil?!

Anyhow, I don't know of any automatic converter/importer - so you'll just have to do it manually.

So that's a matter of going through all the settings in the Keil project, and making the corresponding entries in your Eclipse project.

Note that the Keil project is a plain text file - so you can inspect in a text editor, search it, and copy stuff - to save some manual re-typing. It is actually an XML structure; so it helps if you have an editor that can understand XML - Notepad++ is one such...

Do note that while the SES evaluation mode has no code size limit, you will still need to buy a license for commercial use. This means if you are working on a project that does not include plans to buy software licenses for IDEs, then using SES may not be an option either.

Perhaps, since you've had so many issues with Eclipse, you should try this devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ instead. That imports keil projects which you then just have to modify slightly. And it has a better debug interface than Eclipse and is generally a more suitable product.
