New Enterprise Application Client with Existing Sources Wizard: Name and Location

This wizard creates a new standard project containing an enterprise application client.

Your existing application client source does not have to adhere to any particular directory structure. You specify the locations of the configuration files, libraries, and source roots. The only requirement is that the module contain a valid application-client.xml deployment descriptor.

In the Name and Location page, you must set the following properties:

Feature Effect on Web Service Client
Configuration Files Folder Specifies the location of your deployment descriptors and other configuration files. You must have at least a valid application-client.xml deployment descriptor to complete the wizard.

Note: The IDE does not convert deployment descriptors for unsupported application servers to Sun Java System Application Server deployment descriptors. You must use an external tool for this purpose.

Libraries Folder Specifies the location of the class libraries on which the application client depends. All JAR files in this folder are added to the enterprise application project's classpath and packaged with the module for deployment.

Note: The IDE only scans this folder once when you create the project. After the project is created, adding JAR files to this folder outside the IDE does not add them to the module's classpath. You have to add them manually through the Libraries tab of the module's Project Properties dialog box.
