The New Enterprise Application with Existing Sources wizard creates a new using the imported sources of an enterprise application that is
structured according to the Sun Java BluePrints Guidelines. You open the New Existing Blueprint Application wizard
wizard by opening the New Project wizard and selecting
the Existing Blueprint Application wizard template from the Enterprise category.
In the Name and Location page, you have to set the following properties:
Location. Specifies where all your sources are found.
Project Name. Specifies the display name of the project. This name
is also used to create the project folder.
Project Folder. Specifies the location of the folder where you want to
store the project metadata and source code.
Server. Specifies the server where you want the enterprise application to be deployed.
Only servers that are registered with the IDE
are available to be selected here. The bundled Tomcat Web Server is registered by default.
Note that you cannot deploy J2EE applications and JSR-109 web service clients to the Tomcat Web Server.
J2EE Version. Specifies the J2EE level against which you want to develop your enterprise
application. You can deploy your application to an implementation that supports that specification level
or a higher specification level.
Source Level Recommendations. One of the following checkboxes will appear
if JDK 1.5 is set as the default platform in the
Java Platform Manager.
The J2EE 1.4 and J2EE 1.3 specifications do not recommend JDK 1.5. Therefore, if you want
to create a portable application, select the appropriate checkbox:
Use JDK 1.4 and Set Source Level to 1.4. This checkbox appears if
JDK 1.4 is available in the
Java Platform Manager. Select this checkbox to set both your JDK level and your source level to 1.4.
Set Source Level to 1.4. This checkbox appears if JDK 1.4 is not available
in the Java Platform Manager. Select this checkbox so that at least your source level is set to 1.4.
Set as Main Project. Sets the newly created project as the main
project.
When you click Finish, the project is created on your computer and opened in the IDE.
You can view its logical structure in the
Projects window
and its file structure in the Files window
