I was trying to export a Java project. I was able to create a JAR file by using the option Export -> Java -> JAR file. I am not able to import this jar file into Eclipse (no import option for java). Am I doing anything wrong here?
Using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers (Version: Juno Release)
There is a simplier way than exporting and importing the jar. Lets assume your project is named MyProject123. Just:
- Just open the workspace with your file manager,
- Copy the folder MyProject123 that contains the project and paste it
in an other workspace.
- Open eclipse and create a new Java Project named MyProject123
Eclipse will recognize that there is a project with that name in the workspace and will import it. All you have to do is to make refresh (press F5) on the new project.
To be able to import the project back instead of using JAR, try using 'Archive File' as follows.
Export to Archive
File -> Export...
Choose General -> Archive File
as the export type like so :
and then,
Import back from the above archive
File -> Import...
Choose General -> Archive File
and then set it up as follows :
Follow follwing Steps :
Import Project -> JavaEE -> App Client Jar File -> Browse and select jar -> OK
You are done.
Go to
File-> import
Now type " existing in the search bar"
Click on "import existing project into workspace"
select root folder of your project
click ok to import

this the step u can apply to do that so.
Import Project -> JavaEE -> App Client Jar File -> Browse and select jar -> OK
File -> Import -> General -> Archive File
This will import your project in Eclipse.
Also, you will need to add libs/jars externally by configuring your buildpath.
You can import jar file from Eclipse File->Import->General->Archive File
