LAB #01 Exercise #5: Importing an Archive Project

Visit the following URL: http://www.cse.yorku.ca/course/1710/page/files/

Download the project archive file called "Week01.zip" to the default location by double-clicking on it.


For Explorer, be sure to select "Save" and NOT "Open". (We want Eclipse to unarchive the file, not Windows.)


The default download location for Eclipse and Explorer is C:\Documents and Settings\cseXXXXX\My Documents\Downloads.


The location of the downloaded file is not a major concern and the download can go pretty well anywhere*



In Eclipse, select File -> Import. This will bring up the "Import" dialog box. This is shown on the next two screen shots.





Select the item "Existing Projects into Workspace" under the "General" category. Press the "Next >" button.



Select the "Select archive file:" option. DO NOT select the "Select root directory" option. Press the "Browse" button that is next to the "Select archive file:" option. You will be presented with a file chooser. Using the file chooser, navigate to the default download location (or wherever you downloaded the file in Step 1)
Select the project archive file that you downloaded in the step above.
Click "Finish"

You will now see the following:




Congratulations. You imported a project into Eclipse, the files were extracted from the archive by Eclipse and placed in the correct location.

This is the documentation for the main method:




Run Lab01B to see the output. Does the program behaviour match its specified behaviour? This question is the core issue for the concept of program correctness. We will cover this concept in more detail in lecture.

Now move to the last task.




*to be precise, the location can be anywhere EXCEPT Z:\workspace-win32\1710\, but the download will not go there unless you specify it.
