This article shows the way of importing
a Java WAR file to an another computer to continue as a new project with IDM
RAD. IDM RAD (Rational Application Developer) is an integrated development
environment which is built by IBM based on Eclipse. Lot of programmers are facing problems when
importing previously complied projects to an another computer. If you are going to start developments or
software modification of an earlier compiled program with IBM RAD, It is better if you continue with the same
IDE in your computer. I assume, You have already configured your development
environment with RAD.
Let’s start. Open your RAD IDE and create a sample project
with any name, if not exist any project. If no any pre-created project, system
will not allow this task. This may depend on some editions. Next step, copy the WAR file (target file for
the project) to a preferred location of your computer. Then, Go the “file”
section in the menu bar. Then, file >> import. After that you can see a window as screen2.

Screen2
Then browse the appropriate
category according to your target format. Here, I am explaining about RAR file
importing. Expand ‘web’ > select WAR. Then browse the target WAR file that
you have saved.
Screen 3
AS Screen3 assign a target run-time
and go next and finish.
Then your project will be imported
to your workspace successfully. You are
able to import project with another project type also (such as an existing workspace,
archived file..etc) , like this way. Cheers !
