I have been working on an inherited webapp project and a few hours ago I exported to war file. I imported from the war file on another system (Ubuntu) and noticed all the project’s packages are greyed out. Some I can expand others I can’t.
Deploying the project in a container works fine, and does show the updates I made, however I can’t get at the packages, or files I edited.
I have researched online and gotten no closer to an answer so far.
Any reason as to what’s happening? I use Eclipse 3.7 on both systems.
A war file only contains compiled classes. You won’t find your source files in a war file. That’s not what it’s used for.
If you want to share code and project files between two machines, use SVN, Git or another version control system. Even with 1 machine, you should use it anyway.
