Importing war [message #231141]

Hi,
I import a war into my workspace. In my war I have some .properties files
inthe build/classes directory.
Eclipse puts them into JavaResources:/src.

Why?

This is causing me problems. When I start the war, it gives out about not
being able to find one of the .properties files?

Any help greatly appreciated.

"Java Resources" is an organizational node specific to the UI in the
Project Explorer, it's not literally the name of a directory on
disk. The Navigator view will show the actual layout of your files,
which might help you find out why the file's not being found at runtime.

Thanks for that Nitin. If we could just forget about the issue of the
file not being found and I could just ask you a question on the
organisational structure.

When I import a war, Eclipse creates the directories /src/ and
/WebContent/ under my project and puts .properties files in /src/ and JSPs
in /WebContent/.

I can see this in the navigator view and in my windows explorer.

I am wondering is there anyway I change how eclipse decides to put what
files where when unpacking a war?

Thanks.
