<h1 class="topictitle1">Importing class files to an EJB project</h1>
<div><p>You can use the Import wizard to add Java™ class files to an EJB project.</p><div class="skipspace"><p>With the wizard, you can import the class files from the directory
system or from a JAR file or ZIP file. After you choose the class files that
you want to import, the wizard creates an <span class="uicontrol">imported_classes</span> folder,
imports the specified class files to that folder, and adds the folder to the
default class path. You can navigate the <span class="uicontrol">imported_classes</span> folder
in the Project Explorer view.</p>
<div class="tip"><span class="tiptitle">Tip: </span><img src="../images/ycwin.gif" alt="The following applies to Windows" /> You can drag and
drop class files from the Windows<sup>®</sup> Explorer or desktop to the <span class="uicontrol">imported_classes</span> folder
in the Project Explorer view.</div>
<p>To import class files
to an EJB project using the wizard:</p>
</div>
<ol><li><span>In the J2EE perspective, right-click your EJB project and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Import</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Import Class Files</span></span> from
the pop-up menu. The Import wizard opens.</span></li>
<li><span>Specify whether you want to <span class="uicontrol">Import from directory</span> or <span class="uicontrol">Import
from ZIP or JAR</span>, and click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</span></li>
<li><span>Depending on whether you are importing from a directory, from a
JAR file, or from a ZIP file, in the <span class="uicontrol">Source</span> field enter
the full path of the directory, ZIP file, or JAR file that contains the .class
files that you want to import. You can click the <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> button
to locate the directory or file on your system.</span></li>
<li><span>Select the class files that you want to import.</span></li>
<li><strong>Optional: </strong><span>If you have previously imported class files
and do not want to be warned about overwriting resources with the same names,
select <span class="uicontrol">Overwrite existing resources without warning</span>.</span></li>
<li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span>. The wizard imports the .class
files to the <span class="uicontrol">imported_classes</span> folder.</span></li>
</ol>
