Hello,

I had a build problem with my project (null exception ...) and finally I defined a new (empty) project to get the issue disappear.

I now want to IMPORT all the Entities and FB that I had in text files in the original projects into this new project - so I can continue my work.

Is there a way to import or associate files with the new Project?

Hello Guy,

Unfortunately, we do not provide such an automatic project import functionality.
You would need to manually copy and paste them into your newly created vorto project.
If you want, you can create an issue for that in github, so we can have keep track and provide this feature in future versions.

Hello,
Indeed useful for renaming certain Entities/FBs to be more understandable, and to recover from issues like I had with the project build.

Still: Any way to manually modify environment files and associate Entities and FBs with the project? Is will be more friendly that Copy/Paste f tens of files ....

Hello Alex,

Can you pleas indicate which file encapsulates the references to all project elements that should be included?

Can that file be edited to include the relevant .Type and .Fbmodel text files?

You can make any Eclipse Project into a valid Vorto project by

1) adding the following two natures to your .project file:<nature>org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.xtextNature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.vorto.vortonature</nature>

2) The project contains the following folders
'datatypes' , containing all .type files
'functionblocks', containing all .fbmodel files
'infomodels', containing all .infomodel files

Switch to the Vorto perspective and you should be able to see the vorto project.
Does this answer your question?
