Description Pavel Buzek 2005-10-14 14:01:25 UTC

The import wizards need improvements to support real life use cases. 

1. Currently we can import single modules and EAR but the user has to import one
module at a time and setup references manually. This can be improved by
providing one wizard that would import the whole application with all modules
and setup the references correctly. This mean just providing a better UI for the
functionality that is already supported.

2. We cannot import projects with existing ant scripts that have multiple j2ee
modules (or an ear and modules) in them. The infrastructure of the freeform
projects was designed with this use case in mind so it should be possible. Needs
to be tested and we need to provide UI for the import wizard.

Please note that the EJB free-form project needs a bit of cleanup, which should
happen before we start integrating new things. Especially I'd like to see issue
57481 fixed (it is on my list, but of course not for 5.0).
