Export

Export a project and its dependent projects as a zipped file using the Eclipse archive file function. This function has multiple benefits. It allows you to export multiple projects and the required runtime extension project (com.ibm.hats.rcp.runtime.extension) all at once. In addition, you do not have to create a project on the destination ZIETrans Toolkit before you import the archive file. To export the project(s) from ZIETrans Toolkit as an archive file:

1. From the menu bar click File > Export to open the Export wizard.
2. Select General > Archive File and click Next.
3. Select the project(s) to export.
   Note: A ZIETrans rich client project requires the runtime extension project (com.ibm.hats.rcp.runtime.extension) in order to run. Therefore, you must either export the runtime extension project as part of the archive file, or create a new runtime extension project on the destination system by creating a new ZIETrans rich client project.
4. Specify a file name and location where you want to save the project(s).
5. In the Options section, select the desired file format and compression options. To export the whole project, select Create directory structure for files.
6. Click Finish.
