Description Chris Kutler 2004-02-12 18:11:05 UTC 
To unpack a WAR file you must

1 create the directory for the contents

2 mount the directory the WAR file is in

3 right-click the WAR file and unpack

Ideally, it would be nice to be able to

1. Choose Unpack WAR File from Tools menu

2. Browse to and select a WAR file (regardles of
whether the directory it is in is mounted).

3. Choose a directory to unpack to - can create on
the fly if it doesn't exist. 

If we can't have that then this is second best. Or
even better, have both.

1. File > New > Archive - mount WAR file

2. Right-click and choose Unpack WAR File 


3. Choose a directory to unpack to - can create on
the fly if it doesn't exist.

Unpacking WAR file was removed in 4.0.
