Every time I start working on a new J2EE web application, I need to create the various Eclipse projects that I’ll fill up. This includes the top-level project that generates the EAR, a WAR project, etc. I usually only have to do this every couple of months, so I never remember the exact steps – specifically, which Eclipse Project Wizards to use for each project in the webapp.
I have enough old J2EE projects laying around that they could serve as good reference if only I could actually see which Wizard created them. Is there a way to recover this information?
The best system I found since asking this is to look at a project’s facets. If needed I can compare an existing Eclipse project to a newly created one from the wizard; if the facets are identical, then I’ve (re)found the right wizard.
