Importing a Portfolio

You can import an existing portfolio into the Java WorkShop. This portfolio may be one that someone else created or one that you previously created but then removed. The portfolio may be local to your file system or located elsewhere on the Internet.

To import a portfolio:

  1. Choose Portfolio => Import.

  2. In the Import Portfolio dialog box, enter either the path name or URL of the portfolio, including the extension .psf.

  3. Using the radio buttons on the right, indicate whether your portfolio name is a file name or a URL.

  4. Click the Import button.

The WorkShop stores the portfolio's name and maintains a link to the actual portfolio. The WorkShop makes the imported portfolio the current portfolio and displays its name in the tool bar. To view the imported portfolio, click the Portfolio Manager control in the WorkShop tool bar.

The WorkShop adds the portfolio name to the Choose and Remove submenus in the Portfolio menu.

If you removed the awt portfolio, you can import it by specifying the URL doc:/lib/psfs/awt.psf. If you removed the jdk portfolio, you can import it by specifying the URL doc:/lib/psfs/jdk.psf.
