File->New Enterprise Application Project

Add existing web project dependecies(you can add multiple web projects).

Then export your Enterprise Application Project as EAR file by right click choose Export option.

  • Already done this but what is target runtime? What can I choose as target runtime? Also when adding my existing web project into ear how can I check my ear contains source code which I included? What about jars which I copied in lib folder? – Rishi Salunkhe Nov 01 '17 at 05:56
  • You have to choose a target(target runtime) server to deploy your EAR file. It may be apache or JBoss. So first install any server and configure it in your eclipse – jai Nov 01 '17 at 06:00
  • @but it doesnt show anything in target runtime. Also I can not see source code after creating ear file – Rishi Salunkhe Nov 01 '17 at 06:03
  • Window->Show view -> server then create new server. Then it will shown as target runtime – jai Nov 01 '17 at 06:08
  • Choose your Enterprice App. Project -> right click choose Export -> choose Export Source file check box – jai Nov 01 '17 at 06:23
  • In a ear file, there would be only compiled class files. Source won't be included. And for target runtime, you need to install a J2EE server and configured in Eclipse firstly before you can see one. – Alex Nov 01 '17 at 06:27
  • To check ear file contains source code, just change the extension of .ear to .zip, then unzip it, again do the same for war(.war->.zip). Now u can see .class & .java files in package foleder – jai Nov 01 '17 at 06:59
