Eclipse: How to convert a Java Project into a Web Project

Eclipse Version: Helios Service Release 1

Java projects do not have the Export->WAR File option. To get this option you must convert your Java project into a web project.

Step 1: Create a new Dynamic Web Project
Step 2: Open the Dynamic Web Projects .project file and copy the following lines of XML to your Java projects .project file.

<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
...
</buildSpec>

Android Programming: ddms]null java.lang.NullPointerException error

Starting Android emulator within Eclipse Helios I get:

[2011-06-15 14:01:36 - ddms]null
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.android.ddmlib.Client.sendAndConsume(Client.java:572)
at com.android.ddmlib.HandleHello.sendHELO(HandleHello.java:142)

}

To fix this problem set a Size on the SD card property within the Android Virtual Device (AVD).

MyEclipse Webservice Explorer

Web service using MyEclipse (Helios) I came across this error:

IWAB0135E An unexpected error has occurred.
503
Service Unavailable

Retrieving the the WDSL file was fine but making a web service call continuously gave the above 503 error. Turns out the problem was an Eclipse proxy setting issue.

Go to Window->Preferences->Network Connections make sure localhost and 127.0.0.1 by pass any proxy settings.
