# Opening Existing Projects

Previous

Next

Use this procedure to open an existing project:

Caution: For most prior release projects, simply opening the project in TopLink Workbench will upgrade your project. However, to upgrade release 9.0.3 (and earlier) projects, you must follow specific upgrade procedures and use the Package Rename tool. Refer to Oracle TopLink Release Notes and Oracle TopLink Getting Started Guide for more information.

1. Click Open Project on the toolbar. The Choose a File dialog box appears. You can also open a project by choosing File > Open from the menu.

   Note: The File menu option contains a list of recently opened projects. You can select one of these projects to open. See "General Preferences" for information on customizing this list.

2. Select the TopLink Workbench project file ( `.mwp`) to open, and click Open. TopLink Workbench displays the project information.

   If you open a TopLink Workbench version 3.n project that contains EJB information, the Potential EJB Descriptors dialog box appears.

3. Select which of the descriptors should be imported as EJB descriptors, the project persistence type, and click OK.

You can also specify whether or not TopLink Workbench generates methods and attributes that comply with the EJB specification, if they are not found within the current class descriptor(s).

If you open a TopLink Workbench version 9.0.3 (or later) project, the Create New TopLink Workbench Project from Previous Version dialog box appears.

To convert the old project to the current format and view the project immediately, click Save Later.

To convert the old project to the current format and save it to a new location and then view the project, click Save Now.
