Building EARs 

Use

You need to build the EAR file of the Enterprise project before deploying the application to the J2EE Engine.

The EAR file contains the WAR and JAR files, and the application.xml and application-j2ee-engine.xml deployment descriptors. Optionally, it can also contain data-source-aliases.xml, log-configuration.xml or sap.application.global.properties.

When you build the EAR file, this also automatically builds the WAR and JAR files in the referenced projects.

Procedure

Building EARs in Enterprise Application Projects

       1.      In the J2EE Explorer view, select the Enterprise Application project.

       2.      From the context menu, choose Build EAR File.
