Trying to copy working Servlet project to 2nd computer. Copied folder, created workspace, Selected File/Import, then General/project into workspace.
Copying process seemed to work, but when I look at the project under Project Explorer, it shows errors for "import javax.servlet."
I am not sure why it would flag anything, since it was working fine in the other computer, and I have developed Dynamic Web Apps on this 2nd computer, so it should have all of the links.

That package comes from your project's targeted server runtime, and odds are that it's not in the same place on this machine as the original, if it's present at all. Update the list of installed servers and then update the project.

OK, I will try that.

But the bigger question to me is why is it so hard to copy a Project from one computer to another? It seems like Eclipse should have everything it needs in the Project folder. (I think it is easier to just build the Project from scratch rather than trying to fill in the missing pieces).
