<steps outputclass="id_steps"> | |
<step><cmd>In the J2EE perspective, click <menucascade><uicontrol>File</uicontrol> | |
<uicontrol>Import</uicontrol></menucascade>. The Import window opens.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>Under <uicontrol>Select an import source</uicontrol>, click <menucascade> | |
<uicontrol>J2EE</uicontrol><uicontrol>EAR file</uicontrol></menucascade>.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>In the <uicontrol>EAR file</uicontrol> field, enter the location | |
and name of the application client JAR file that you want to import. </cmd> | |
<info>You can click the <uicontrol>Browse</uicontrol> button to select the | |
JAR file from the file system.</info></step> | |
<step><cmd>In the <uicontrol>EAR project</uicontrol> field, accept the default | |
project name or type a new project name. </cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>In the <uicontrol>Target runtime</uicontrol> drop-down list, select | |
the application server that you want to target for your development. </cmd> | |
<info>This selection affects the run time settings by modifying the class | |
path entries for the project.</info></step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>, and complete the following steps:</cmd> | |
<substeps> | |
<substep><cmd>On the Enterprise Application Import page, select any utility | |
JAR files from the project that you want to import as utility projects.</cmd> | |
</substep> | |
<substep><cmd>In the <uicontrol>Module Root Location field</uicontrol>, specify | |
the root directory for all of the projects that will be imported or created | |
during import.</cmd></substep> | |
</substeps> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>On the EAR Module and Utility JAR Projects page of the wizard, | |
select the projects that you want to import with the EAR file. Also, you can | |
edit the new project name for each module and utility project to be imported.</cmd> | |
<info><note type="tip">The selection buttons on this page can help you select | |
the projects to import when you are importing for partial EAR development. | |
For example, if you are importing to a workspace where some projects are attached | |
to a repository and other projects are in binary form, these buttons help | |
you make the proper selections for which projects to import:<ul> | |
<li><uicontrol>Select New</uicontrol>: Selects the projects that are currently | |
not in your workspace.</li> | |
<li><uicontrol>Select All</uicontrol>: Selects all projects for import.</li> | |
<li><uicontrol>Deselect All</uicontrol>: Clears all module and utility projects | |
for import.</li> | |
</ul></note></info></step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol> to import the contents of the | |
EAR file.</cmd></step> | |
