name or select an EJB project from the drop-down list.</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. If no
Target servers exist, create one using the <uicontrol>New</uicontrol> button.

from the <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Microsoft Corporation" tmtype="reg"

view. The Import wizard will open with appropriate fields already populated.
If you drop on an existing EJB module, the wizard will import into that EJB
module. If you drop on an enterprise application, the wizard will bind the
new EJB module to this EAR.</note><note>The .ser files in an EJB 1.0 JAR are
converted into the ejb-jar.xml file for EJB 1.1 during an import.</note></result>
