How do I deploy/import war package into Netbeans

Question

Hi there, I have looked through the help documentation in netbeans 6.5.1 but cannot find anything explicit explaining how to deploy/import a war package.

I know in Eclipse, it's as easy as right clicking in the Project Explorer >> select IMPORT >> WAR FILE.

However, I still am unable to find a solution for Netbeans.

Thankyou, Jordan

I assume you don't already have an ant or maven project for your web project? If you did, you would just import a maven project or create a Web Free-Form Application and wire it up to your ant script.

I would unzip the war file, create a new web application with existing sources in netbeans and wire everything up using the wizard.
