Importing the project in Eclipse

Before beginning component development, you have to import the component project you just created into Eclipse.

To import the Discovery Framework Component SDK project you just created into Eclipse:

  1. Within Eclipse, choose File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace.
  2. As the root directory from which to import, select the directory where you installed the Component SDK. You should see multiple projects to import.
  3. Import the portlets you need to work with. If your portlets depend on shared library projects located within the /shared directory, import those as well.
    Note: It takes some time for projects to build after they are imported.
