Importing a connector project RAR file

Connector projects are deployed into RAR files. You can import a connector project by importing a deployed RAR file.

1. In the Java™ EE perspective, click File > Import .
2. Under Select an import source, click J2EE > RAR file .
3. In the Connector file field, enter the full path and name of the connector RAR file that you want to import.
4. In the Connector module combination box, type a new project name or select a connector project from the drop-down list. If you type a new project name in this field, the connector project will be created based on the version of the connector RAR file, and it will use the default location.
5. In the Target runtime drop-down list, select the application server that you want to target for your development. This selection affects the run-time settings by modifying the class path entries for the project.
6. Optional: To add the new module to an enterprise application project, select the Add project to an EAR check box and then select an existing enterprise application project from the list or create a new one by clicking New.
7. In the EAR application combination box, type a new project name or select an existing enterprise application project from the drop-down list. Or, click the New button to launch the New Enterprise Application Project wizard.
   Note: If you type a new enterprise application project name, the enterprise application project will be created in the default location with the lowest compatible J2EE version based on the version of the project being created. If you want to specify a different version or a different location for the enterprise application, you must use the New Enterprise Application Project wizard.
8. Click Finish to import the connector RAR file.
