Importing web archive (WAR) files

You can use the WAR Import Wizard to import WAR files into your project.

About this task

A Web Archive (WAR) file is a portable, packaged Web application that you can import into your workspace.

Before importing a WAR file, you should first determine if the WAR file contains needed Java™ source files.

To import the Web project resources in a WAR file into your workspace, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Select File > Import.
  2. In the Import dialog, expand the Web folder, select WAR file , and then click Next.
  3. Locate the WAR file that you want to import using the Browse button.
  4. The wizard assumes you want to create a new Web project with the same name as the WAR file. If you accept this choice, the project is created with the same servlet version as specified by the WAR file and in the same location.
  5. Click Finish to populate the web project.
