Importing a Dataspace Project

ALDSP uses standard Eclipse import mechanisms. You can import a JAR file project or an open (file-based) project.

Importing a JAR File Project

A JAR file containing an ALDSP project can be imported into your workspace.

1. Create a dataspace project, naming it appropriately. (Alternatively you may be able to use an existing project if there are no naming conflicts.)

   File > New > Dataspace Project

2. Click on your new project.
3. Choose:

   File > Import > General > Archive File

4. Next.
5. Browse to the directory location of your JAR file.
6. Open.
7. Answer Yes to All to the question regarding overwriting xquery-types.xsd.
8. Finish.
9. Deploy your project to verify a successful build and deployment.

Importing a File-based Project

A project in an accessible file system can be imported into the Eclipse workshop. You can import one or several projects at the same time.

1. Choose:

   File > Import... > General > Existing Projects into Workspace

2. Browse to your dataspace project directory.
3. Select the project or projects you wish to import.
