Migrating Project on Eclipse 2.1.3 on Old PC, to Eclipse 3.1 on New PC [message #118985]

I have an EJB project that I've been developing using Eclipse 2.1.3 with a
Lomboz plugin that was as old as the Eclipse. The development environment
is in an old PC, using JBoss 3.2.4 with integrated Tomcat.

Now I'd wish to migrate my project from that old PC, to a new one. I'd
like also to use either the newest Eclipse 3.1.x/with latest Lomboz; or
Lomboz IDE 1.0. I'll be using JBoss 4.0.x.

However, after trying myriads of importing methods including the project
folder and the workspace, I haven't been able to get the project up and
running in my new environment. The best I've achieved so far is to get the
project's web module and ejb module listed in the project list. However,
Eclipse doesn't allow me to add it to the server.

So, I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me how the migration from a
much older Eclipse to a new one on different PCs ought to be done.

Looking forward to any kind of help as I've been pulling my hair for the
past two weeks. :~(

This is probably against all sorts of rules, but....

On the new machine, I create the project. No other directories/files are
created. Exit Ecplise

On the old machine, copy all the source files in the project directory
tree. This would be *.java, *.jsp, *.js, etc. Ensure that the directory
structure is also copied. In the Windows world, a series of:
xcopy *.<extension> <target> /s /e
will do this.

Then copy this directory structure to the new machine, to where Ecplise
has created the project.

Start Eclipse. RMB on the project name, and choose "Refresh".

You should now have a populated project on the new machine. Note that no
compiled files or history files are copied, so a full re-build/
deployment will be required.
