Importing Projects

You can import data from external sources into your Design Studio workspaces. For example, if you have purchased cartridges from Oracle, you can import them into Design Studio and reuse their components to create your projects.

Note:

There are two different import methods available: an Eclipse method and a Design Studio method. Always use the Design Studio method. Import projects using the Studio Projects view contextual menu or with the Import Studio Project menu action available in the Studio menu. Using the Eclipse import functionality may cause unpredictable results and may require that you restart Design Studio.

Do not distribute projects among team members by using archive files that contain a workspace and the set of projects. If you receive from a team member an archive file that contains a workspace and a set of projects, unzip the file and import the projects using the Import Studio Project menu action.

When you import a project, it becomes a project in the current workspace. Some projects are sealed, meaning that they are read-only. Sealed projects cannot be modified without first being unsealed. See "Sealing Projects" and "Unsealing Projects" for more information.

When importing projects into Design Studio, see the following topics:
