Paste Project Dialog Box

Use the Paste Project dialog box to copy a project from the clipboard into your current portfolio.

Project File
The path name of the project file you previously copied to the clipboard, including the extension .prj. You cannot edit this field.

Create by
Field in which you specify whether you want to copy the project into a directory or import it by reference. If you click the Copy radio button, the WorkShop copies the project files into the destination directory. The .html file is only copied if you specified a file other than projectname.tmp.html. If you click the Reference radio button, the WorkShop stores only the project's file name and maintains a link between the project in the portfolio and the project files. If you are pasting a project by reference, the remaining fields in the dialog box are grayed out.

Destination Directory
The absolute path name of the directory in which you want to store the project files. For clarity, you should store the project files in their own directory.

Include Source
Field in which you specify whether or not to copy the .java source files into the destination directory.

New Project Name
The name of the project as it appears in your portfolio.

Command buttons
Paste--Pastes the project from the clipboard into the current portfolio and adds the project name to the Project => Choose, Edit, and Remove submenus. If you are copying the files, the WorkShop places the copies in the destination directory and creates two additional files: project.src.jws, which contains the source files for the project, and project.jws, which contains all other files, such as the .prj file. If another user copies the project, the WorkShop copies the .jws and .jws.src files instead of the individual project files.

Cancel--Closes the dialog box without applying your changes

Help--Displays help on the Paste Project dialog box
