How to use the open WAR folder in Netbeans

So, I was provided with a WAR file, but after downloading it, I noticed that this is actually a folder, not a WAR file. Trying to open this folder in Netbeans does not work, because it expects a war file, not a folder.

I tried to “work out” the folder that worked. Netbeans can now open the file, however, none of the files can be edited.

This has been tested with apache ode.war in NetBeans 8.0:

  • Unzip the war file
  • In the unpacked folder you will see WEB-INF /, META-INF / etc., create a subfolder named web in the unpacked folder.
  • Put everything else on the network (now they will be web / WEB -INF /, web / js /, ...)
  • Go to netbeans, new project -> java web application -> with existing sources
  • Pretty much just click on. that was done.

If you do not have eclipse, just put the war file in the Tomcat webapps folder, go to the Tomcat bin folder and run startup . Tomcat will automatically extract a war file for you. Now go to the webapps folder and there you will find another folder with the same name as your war.

I could not find an option to import the war directly into Netbeans (strange. Perhaps someone could create this function and send it as a patch for Netbeans). The folder that is extracted to the Tomcat folder can be used as a Netbeans project. It is recommended that you first copy it to another folder. Import by File > New Project > Web application with existing sources .

Eclipse has the ability to export the war and include sources along with it, so it is likely that the source files will also enter the game.
