Importing .ear webdynpro file in NWDS.

[Former Member]

Hello,

I don't see any "General>Archive File" under "File> Import-->". I am trying to create a webdynpro project from a .ear file that I got from the "SDM->Program->temp" folder on the server.

Here are the details of NWDS:

Version: 7.0.10

Build id: 200610212349

Is there a specific perspective, that I should be using to import a .ear file, I tried J2EE, but the import window still doesn't have a General option.

Thanks

Srinivas.

Hi Srinvas,

You cannot re-create a project from .ear file like it used to be with .par file.

If you have the .sca file (Software component) in which this .ear file (development component) is present, you can import it with NWDI.

But if you have some complex logic embedded in the WD which you want to retrieve, you can unzip the ear file, dig for the class files and decompile it.
