Exporting a Project

You can export a project that can then be imported and shared with other developers.

To share projects with other developers, you can export your project if you are the project owner. You can export the project to a zip file or to the local file system and then notify developers to import the shared project into their project workspace.

Note: You cannot export project resources, such as services. You must export the entire project. However, you can copy, paste, or move services and folders between projects.
  1. To refresh the project to ensure that all project files are up to date, select File > Refresh from the main menu bar.
  2. Right-click the project you want to export in the WorkSpace Navigator and select File > Export from the main menu bar.
