| <section><p>The Project Explorer view provides the following notable features: <ul> | |
| <li><image alt="For Windows" href="../images/nwin.gif" placement="inline"> | |
| </image> You can drag and drop files from <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Microsoft Corporation" | |
| tmtype="reg" trademark="Windows">Windows</tm> Explorer or the desktop into | |
| the Navigator view.</li> | |
| <li>View filtering is supported by selecting <ph><uicontrol>Filters</uicontrol></ph> from | |
| the Navigator view <ph><uicontrol>Menu</uicontrol></ph> button. Resources | |
| can be filtered by name, project type or content type. Files beginning with | |
| a period are filtered out by default.</li> | |
| <li>The status line shows the full path of the selected resource.</li> | |
| <li>Dragging a .java file from the Navigator view into a JSP file will insert | |
| a usebean tag, the same behavior that is exhibited when a .class file is dragged | |
| into a JSP file.</li> | |
| <li>Errors and warnings on resources (including <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." | |
| tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm>, HTML/JSP, and Links Builder errors | |
| and warnings) are indicated with a red error <image alt="Error icon" href="../images/nshowerr.gif" | |
| placement="inline"></image> or yellow warning <image alt="Warning icon" href="../images/nwarning.gif" | |
| placement="inline"></image> next to the resource with the error, as well as | |
| the parent containers up to the project. This applies for all project types, | |
| not only Web projects.</li> | |
| <li>Items available from the <ph><uicontrol>New</uicontrol></ph> cascading | |
| menu in the project pop-up menu are context sensitive. All menus will have <ph><uicontrol>Project</uicontrol></ph> and <ph><uicontrol>Other</uicontrol | |
| ></ph> options.</li> | |
| </ul></p></section> | |
| <section><title>Organization of the Project Explorer view</title><p>The Project | |
| Explorer view shows a custom view of all Web projects. The following are some | |
| of the notable top-level objects that appear beneath the project node (based | |
| on default folder names).</p><p><b>Web content folder</b> - This folder contains | |
| items to be published to the server. By default, this folder will be named <b>WebContent</b> for | |
| newly created static and dynamic Web projects. <note>You can change the name | |
| in the creation wizard Web facet page.</note><ul> | |
| <li><b>META-INF</b> - This directory contains the <filepath>MANIFEST.MF</filepath> file, | |
| which is used to map class paths for dependent JAR files that exist in other | |
| projects in the same Enterprise Application project. An entry in this file | |
| will update the run-time project class path and <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." | |
| tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> build settings to include the referenced | |
| JAR files.</li> | |
| </ul><ul> | |
| <li><b>WEB-INF</b> - The directory where supporting Web resources for a Web | |
| application are kept (for example: .xmi files, .xml files, and web.xml.) </li> | |
| </ul> </p> </section> | |
