3. Optional: Open the Project Explorer view. Click Window > Show View > Project Explorer. Another helpful view is the Navigator view (Window > Show View > Navigator).

4. Create a new application EAR file or edit an existing one. For example, to change attributes of an existing application, use the import wizard to import an EAR file. To start the import wizard:
