Importing and exporting custom project types

OpenEdge stores the details of custom project types that you create in the com.openedge.pdt.extensibility.user Eclipse plugin (you can specify a different plugin, if necessary, on the Customization preferences page). The details of custom project types created by other users are stored in similar user plugins. You can import these custom project types using the Customization Editor. You can also export the custom project types that you create.

To import custom project types:
1. In the OpenEdge Editor perspective, open the Customization Editor by selecting OpenEdge > Tools > Customization Editor.
2. In the Available Extension Points tree view, click OpenEdge Custom Projects.
1. Click Import.
1. Select a plugin folder of another user from the list of directories. The Import Custom Project Types dialog appears with a list of custom projects available in that plugin folder.
1. Select the custom project types you want to import.
  
  Note: The dialog displays an error if you select a project type that already exists in the workspace.
To export custom project types:
1. In the OpenEdge Editor perspective, open the Customization Editor by selecting OpenEdge > Tools > Customization Editor.
1. In the Available Extension Points tree view, click OpenEdge Custom Projects.
2. Select the project types that you want to export on the Export Custom Project Types dialog.
1. Click Export. The dialog creates a user plugin with the details of the selected custom project types that can be used by other users.
