About Imported Inventory Cartridge Projects

You can import existing Cartridge projects into Design Studio. Cartridges that include customizable Java source code are packaged in a ZIP file. You can import the ZIP file or extract the ZIP file to a folder and import the Cartridge project from the folder. When you import a cartridge, it becomes a Cartridge project in the current workspace. See “Importing Projects" for more information about importing Inventory Cartridge projects.

If you import a cartridge from a cartridge pack or a cartridge that has been protected by its creator, it will be sealed. Sealed cartridges cannot be modified without first being unsealed. See “Sealing Projects" and “Unsealing Projects" for more information.

Cartridges with dependencies will display errors when you import them without the required cartridges already being present in the workspace. For example, if you import a cartridge that requires one of the base cartridges, you will see errors. After all the cartridges have been imported, you can clean all the projects to remove the errors. See “Reviewing the Error Log", “Problems View", and “Running Clean Builds" for more information. See “Importing Projects into Design Studio using Root Directories" for more information about importing existing projects into a workspace.
