| <h1>J2EE Tools Evaluation Guide</h1> |
| <h2>1.0 Introduction</h2> |
| <p>The J2EE tools contribution offers tools to create, import, export and exploration thru J2EE modules including |
| EAR, Application Client, Connector, EJB and Web projects. <br> |
| The following document contains information to get you started using the J2EE tools features</p> |
| <h2>2.0 Getting Started</h2> |
| <p>This document can be used as reference for a user with a new workspace or an existing workspace.</p> |
| <h2>3.0 Quick Tour</h2> |
| <p>In the following bullet points various simple tasks within the J2EE tools will be explained. The sections |
| themselves are not inter-related and can be run independent of the others.</p> |
| <h3>3.1 Project Creation</h3> |
| <p>The J2EE tools Project Creation wizards allow developers to create basic J2EE projects including EAR, Application |
| Client, Connector, EJB and Web projects. Each Project Creation wizard can be launched by selecting |
| File->Import->Module type (Note: Module type depends on which type of J2EE project you are going to create. EJB |
| Project is shown below, however, EAR, Application Client, Connector can be found under the J2EE folder, and Web Project |
| be found in the Web folder with in this wizard.)<br> |

| Each module has its own wizard; however, for usability reasons they are all very similar. Because of this only the EJB |
| Project Creation will be covered in detail in this document, but the same principles apply for all modules.<br> |
| Once you have selected EJB Project from the basic Project Creation Wizard hitting "Next" will take you to the |
| EJB Project Creation Wizard. This wizard pictured below allows the developer to enter a "Project Name" as well |
| as a variety of other J2EE specific information including possible EAR which will contain the EJB as well as a target |
| server.<br> |

| The user can now create the project by selecting "Finish".<br> |
| </p> |
| <h3>3.2 Import</h3> |

| Tools provide import of EJB modules in form of .jar files. The import wizard can be invoked from two places. The user |
| can access the wizard from File -> Import -> EJB Jar file<br> |
| <img |

| EJB Import wizard comes up as shown in the figure below. Select the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">EJB JAR |
| file</b> by using the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Browse</b> button and navigating to the JAR file to be |
| imported.<br> |
| <img |

| align="baseline" |
| alt=""><br> |
| <br> |
| To complete the import simple press "<b>Finish</b>". Import of other modules like EAR, Application Client, Web |
| and Connector projects is also supported and can be done in a similar way, as a wizard is available for each module type |
| <br> |
| </span></p> |
| <h3>3.3 Export</h3> |

| Tools provide exporting of EJB modules in form of .jar files. The export wizard can be invoked from two places. First |
| the user can access the wizard from either File -> Export -> EJB Jar file<br> |
| <img |

| </span>or right click on the EJB project to be exported under the EJB modules in the Project Explorer and select Export -> |
| EJB JAR file.<br> |

| Export wizard comes up as shown in the figure below. Select the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Destination</b> |
| by using the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Browse</b> button. You are also able to change the project which |
| you want to export by selecting on the drop down combo box under the "<b>Project:</b>" heading.</span><br> |

| of other modules like EAR, Application Client, Web and Connector projects is also supported and can be done in a similar |
| way</span>, as a wizard is available for each module type.<br> |

| <h3>3.4 Project Explorer</h3> |
| <p>The Project Explorer is useful J2EE group navigation view. The view can be launched by selecting Windows->Show |
| View->Others->J2EE -> Project Explorer. The Project Explorer has two basic layouts determined by selection of |
| the folder grouping button located at the top of the view <img |
| src="J2EEToolsEval_files/1480_31986.jpg" |
| align="baseline" |
| alt="">. When selected, as seen below, the J2EE projects in your workspace will be group under their |
| appropriate J2EE modules. Simple Java Projects and other non-J2EE projects will be found under the "Other |
| Projects" group.<br> |
| <img |
| src="J2EEToolsEval_files/1480_30115.jpg" |
| align="baseline" |
| alt=""><br> |
| If a user would like to see all project ungrouped simply deselecting the <img |

| align="baseline" |
| alt=""> will show a view seen below.<br> |

| <br> |
| The Project Explorer also provides a framework of actions which are contributed from the individual objects to perform |
| operations, open editors and do a variety of other work on the projects and their contents as seen by the example |
| implementation below.<br> |
