This wizard creates a new containing an enterprise application client. You open the wizard by opening the
New
Project wizard and selecting the Enterprise Application Client with Existing Sources template
from the Enterprise category.
Your existing application client source does not have to adhere to any particular directory
structure. You specify the locations of the configuration files, libraries,
and source roots. The only requirement is that the module contain a valid application-client.xml
deployment descriptor.
In the Name and Location page, you have to set the following properties:
Location. Specifies the parent folder that contains the existing
EJB module. Typically, this is the folder that contains the configuration
files folder, the libraries folder, and the primary source folder. The IDE
scans this folder and tries to suggest locations for the Configuration Files
and Libraries fields.
Project Name. Specifies the display name of the project.
Project Folder. Specifies the location where the module's project
folder is created. The project folder contains project metadata like the project's
Ant build script. You can place the project folder in the same location as
your sources or in a separate location.
Use Dedicated Folder for Storing Libraries. When selected, you can
specify a Libraries Folder where required compilation libraries are stored.
Libraries Folder. Specifies the location of the folder containing shared libraries.
Click Browse to specify a location other than the default.
Set as Main Project. Specifies the project as your main entry point
and place of work.
