Hi,

First, congratulation for the work on wtp ! It's a really nice tool.
I am using wtp07RC1 with eclipse 3.1

I have a JSP/Servlet application that I deploy on tomcat. I want to
convert my standard project in wtp project. I saw that it exist an option
"Convert to a Dynamic Web Project" but I am not able to use it. What are
the requirment ?

Or is there the possibility to import a project to a Dynamic Web Project
knowing that my project architecture is not the same as the default
architecture of the Dynamic Web Project

Thinks,

Guill

basically, you have to edit your .project and create a .wtpmodules file
to transform a regular project into a Flexible Project.
It is more than certain that your current project layout does not
conform to a dynamic Web Project (which is totally alright, as most pre
existing webapp).
to guess what to put in your .project, you only have to copy from a
brand new dynamic web project (this adds a few builders and a few natures)
to guess what to put in your .wtpmodules is a bit more tricky, get some
inspirations from a .wtpmodules generated from a brand new dynamic web
project and adapt it to your need.
I describe how to do that for a maven project on
http://roumanoff.blogspot.comI guess you can find some useful info in there.

good luck

Patrick
