NWDI and DC - Broken in WDP Perspective

Question

Hi,
I've got a WDP Component (Utils) which is inside NWDI. I've tried to use Create Project command in NWDI, do get a version to work with. It downloads the project to my local machine, however, it's not showing in WDP view. It shows in Navigator view, as a Java project, like every other project.
I've already seem something like that, the fix should be some editing related to .project, .classpath files I think.
Can someone help me with this? - I'm not sure exactly how to update these files to make it load again in WDP view (so I can rebuild - redeploy).
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
The .project file contains information about natures from which it knows the kind of the project.
For Web Dynpro project, it needs to have Web Dynpro & Dictionary natures apart from regular java.
<natures>
<nature>com.sap.ide.webdynpro.archivebuilder.WebDynproNature</nature>
<nature>com.sap.dictionary.tools.archivebuilder.DictionaryNature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
</natures>
Hope this answers your concern.
Kind Regards,
Nitin Jain
PS: I would recommend you to delete the project from Navigator view, edit .project file & then create project.
