Hi all!

Now I’ve just joined a project. The other developers use JBuilder, so the directory structure of the project is as created by JBuilder. I was requested to check if Eclipse can be used to work with the already existing project.

The project is a WebModule (no EJBs, no fancy stuff). And I cannot change it’s structure because it is in the ClearCase.

The question is: is MyEclipse flexible enough to import a JBUilder web project, without changing its structure? (like, changing the Web-Dir reference to another directory, use libraries that are not in the web-dir/web-inf/lib directory blah blah blah).

If you can answer to my question, please do it as soon as possible (I know we all have lots of things to do…). Also, if there is a reference documentation (that I could not find) about integrating MyEclipse with different other project structures, please point me to it. I can read :).

Thanks for all the help (that hopefully will come),
Alex

Btw, I have some experience with myEclipse (that’s why I was thinking it could be a good move to use it instead of JBuilder), but I all the time created a new project. I did not sit on top of an already existing structure.

Regards,
Alex

Alex,

You should be able to import the project into Eclipse, select it, then use MyEclipse > Add Web Project capabilities… to specify where the web root folder is located. In order to configure libraries for deployment that aren’t in WEB-INF/lib, please have a look at the Advanced section of our Working with Web Projects quickstart that is available in the Documentation section here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-67.html

It should tell you what you need to get going.
