How do you import an ears and wars like you do in regular eclipse wtp ? In regular eclipse, there is an option on import an ear or war which will add the new project to an ear project. What is the MyEclipse equivalent ?

Sungard,

I am afraid MyEclipse doesn’t provide an option to import ears and wars. You can import .jar and .zip. From MyEclipse IDE, click on File > Import > General > archive file and follow the wizard.

Under what circumstances will the Enhance WTP Project option be enabled ? Presently, it is disabled.

Sungard,,

I am not sure I follow you. Can you attach a screenshot and elaborate? Also can you include your installation details? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.

Thank you.

The install summary is below. The menu option is the 2nd option under the MyEclipse top level menu item. I do not know how to upload an image.

Sungard,

Thank you for the installation details. By default, when you import a WTP project, MyEclipse IDE prompts to convert to MyEclipse project, hence this option is disabled. If you open a workspace with WTP projects, this menu item will be enabled. Also if you check-in a WTP project from configuration management system such as CVS, this option is enabled.
Hope this helps.

So then I probably could create an ear project in regular eclipse/wtp and then imoport that project into myeclipse ?

Sungard,

Yes you can do that but it is not recommended to create an ear project in eclipse and import to MyEclipse. Instead you can create a MyEclipse ear project. Please refer our tutorials on enterprise projects here – http://www.myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-7.html

[Jim Jackson]

Maybe I need to explain what I need to do. What I need to do is take an existing ear file, un pack it, make changes, re-pack it, and deploy it to an app server. What is the best way to do that ? I do not have the source code. This ear is from another section of my company.

Sungard,

I am afraid ME currently doesn’t provide any option to import ears created outside ME. I think if you can have this as a project in CVS/SVN. You can try to check in the project using any of the configuration management tool and give it a shot. I am not too sure though. I haven’t tried this at my end. I will also escalate this to a dev team member and check if there is any other workaround.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
