Presuming you have eclipse installed, look at the import feature. To
grab source trees and put them in Eclipse's work directory.

Hi all , I have tried two approaches to get the application running but
i am stuck in loops . This is what have done and I would appreciate
anyone's advice:

Approach one :
import build.xml , and compile, everything compiled successfully, but
it was classified under 'OtherProjects not J2EE Projects'

Approach two: create a new Enterprise application project, and chose
the source content. Everything compiled well too, server is defined but
I get a message " Cannot find a client that is able to launch this
selection"


So I figured out I have to set up a Web Client to point out the URI -
which i didnt know where it is.

This is an open source application composed of ejbs, servlets and jsps
built over the struts framework ..There is no documentation with this
application and I am a newbie have been trying to figure this out for
more than three weeks.

Thanks Everyone
