 <h1 class="id_title">Importing an enterprise application EAR file</h1>


 <div class="id_taskbody"><p class="id_shortdesc">Enterprise application projects are
 deployed into EAR files. You can import an enterprise application project
 by importing it from a deployed EAR file.</p>

 <div class="id_context"> <p class="anchor_topictop" />
  <p>You
 can also choose to import utility JAR files as utility Java™ projects.
 You can also use the wizard to change the new project names for the EAR file

 <p>To import an EAR file using the wizard,
 complete the following steps:</p>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Select any utility JAR files from the project that you want to
 import as utility projects.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Module Root Location</span> field, specify
 the root directory for all of the projects that will be imported or created
 during import, and click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>On the EAR Module and Utility JAR Projects page, select the projects
 that you want to import with the EAR file. You can edit the new project name
 for each module and utility project to be imported.</span> </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span> to import the contents of the
