Solution________________________________________________________________________
If you have an application written in the standalone version of QNX
Photon Appbuilder, you can import it into an empty IDE-based PhAB
project. Once the project is imported, you can edit the source and build
the project in the IDE.
To import a standalone PhAB project:
1. Open the project in standalone PhAB and make sure it uses an
Eclipse Project directory structure. To do this, select Project >
Convert to Eclipse Project .
If this option is grayed out, the project already uses an Eclipse Project directory structure.
2. Save the project.
3. Run the IDE and create a new Photon Appbuilder Project. This
will run PhAB automatically, but for now cancel and exit out of PhAB.
This creates a new, empty PhAB project in your workspace.
4. Select File > Import… , and choose File system to import
resources from the local filesystem. Browse to the project saved earlier
by standalone PhAB, and import the following items:
the abapp.dfn file
the abapp.wsp file
the src directory and contents
the wgt directory and contents
5. At this point you can rebuild the project using the IDE, and launch PhAB from the IDE to edit the project.
