Importing projects

You can work with many projects simultaneously. All projects in the current workspace are displayed in the Navigator view. You can create projects or import existing projects into the workspace. Existing projects must be valid Flex Builder projects and must reside either in another workspace or, if removed from a workspace, in the file system.

To import existing projects into the workspace:

1. Select File > Import.
2. In the Import wizard, select Existing Projects Into Workspace and click Next.
3. In the Import Projects dialog box, select either the root directory or archive file option; then enter or browse for the project location.

   You can import the following archive file types: jar, zip, tar, tar.gz, and tgz.

   All valid projects that are available in the specified location are listed in the dialog box.

4. Select one or more projects, and click Finish.

   NOTE

   Importing a project into a workspace creates a link from the workspace to the existing location of the project.
