You can import a copy of project or projects into your workspace as an archive file or directly from a local file system, using the Import wizard.
If you import a project directly from the file system by pointing to an existing project in the WorkSpace Navigator, you are not importing a duplicate copy of the project. Thus, any changes made to this project are simultaneously made to the original project as well.
To import a project:
Set up your exported project for import and do one of the following:
Copy the exported project folder into the Eclipse workspace folder in your installation directory.
Unzip the exported project file into the workspace folder in your installation directory.
If an existing project has the same name as the project you are importing, the existing project is overwritten. Change the name of one of the projects when you do the copy.
Select File|Import from the main menu bar of the perspective.
The Import wizard opens.
Select Existing Project into Workspace and click Next.
Select the project you want to import using one of the following:
Import a project
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Select root directory | Do the following:
|
| Select archive file | Browse for the archive that contains the project that you want to import. |
Click Finish, to import the specified project to the destination location.
The project is now available for use.
After importing the project, right-click on the project and select Update WorkSpace Build Path Entries. Running this option will help to ensure that the paths for build and deploy are updated for the workspace to which the project was imported.
