It can be convenient to export a SADL project in such a way that it can easily be imported as a SADL project into another Eclipse workspace. This can be accomplished by doing the following.

1. Select the project in the Project Explorer pane.
2. Right-click and select Export... from the context menu.
3. Select General -> Archive File in the resulting modal dialog window.
4. Click on Next.
5. Check the resources you wish to export, typically all resources although automatically generated files can be omitted to make the archive file smaller.
6. Browse to the desired folder and provide the desired name for the exported project file.
7. Click on Finish.

To import an archive file created following the process above, do the following.

1. Select File -> Import... from the menu bar.
2. Select General -> Existing Projects into Workspace in the resulting modal dialog window.
3. Click on Next.
4. Click on Select Archive File: and then browse to the desired archive file in the resulting modal dialog window.
