Importing a Project

You can import a project that either you or someone else created into any portfolio for which you have write permission. The project you import does not have to be in a portfolio. Imported projects behave just like projects you create in the Java WorkShop.

You can import a project by reference, or you can copy it into a directory.

To import a project:

  1. Check the WorkShop tool bar for the name of the current portfolio.

    If it is not the portfolio in which you want to import the project, change portfolios by choosing Portfolio => Choose and selecting another portfolio name.

  2. Choose Project => Import.

    This action opens the Import Project dialog box.

  3. In the Project File field, enter the absolute path name of the project you want to import.

  4. Click the URL radio button if the project is specified by a URL.

  5. Select how to import the project.

  6. In the Destination Directory field, enter the absolute path name of the directory in which you want to store the project files.

  7. Click the Yes radio button in the Include Source field if you also want to copy the .java files.

  8. Enter a name for the project in the New Project Name field.

  9. Click the Import button.

    The WorkShop imports the project into the current portfolio and adds the project name to the Project => Choose, Edit, Remove, and Copy submenus. If the project is an applet, standalone program, image, or remote applet, its name is also added to the Run submenu in the Project menu. The imported project becomes the current project.
