Adding an existing project
You can add AppScan® Source projects (.ppf files) previously created with AppScan Source for Analysis to AppScan Source applications. You can also add Eclipse project files (.epf), projects created by any of the supported build integration tools (for example, Ounce/Maven or Ounce/Ant), or project files created with Microsoft™ Visual C/C++ (.vcproj or.dsp), VB.NET (.vbproj), or C# (.csproj)Xcode (where you add the .xcodeproj directory).
This table lists the project file types that you can open and scan with AppScan Source for Analysis:
| Project file type | File extension |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Visual Studio (version 6) | .dsp |
| Microsoft Visual Studio C/C++ | .vcproj |
| Microsoft Visual Studio C# | .csproj |
| Microsoft Visual Studio Visual Basic | .vbproj |
| AppScan Source project file | .ppf |
| Eclipse project file | .epf |
| Project file type | File extension |
|---|---|
| Xcode directory | .xcodeproj Note: You can also open or
import .pbxproj files as AppScan
Source projects. |
| AppScan Source project file | .ppf |
| Eclipse project file | .epf |
To learn how to add an existing project, see these topics:
- Adding an existing project with user interface actions
- Adding an existing project with drag and drop
Important: If you are working with
an AppScan
Source project
that has dependencies in a development environment (for example, an IBM® MobileFirst
Platform project),
ensure that you build the project in the development environment before
importing it. After importing the project, if you modify files in
it, be sure to rebuild it in the development environment before scanning
in AppScan
Source (if
you do not do this, modifications made to files will be ignored by AppScan
Source).
Note: When you import an existing .NET project, you
can specify additional assemblies to scan. Add these assemblies in
the project's Properties view Additional Assemblies tab. When you
add additional assemblies, you can combine .NET projects that build
with assemblies (including third party assemblies) that do not build,
in a single scan.
Note: You can also open or
import .pbxproj files as AppScan
Source projects.
Note: You can also add WAR and EAR files
by dragging and dropping them into the Explorer view - however, these
are added as applications and not projects. For more information,
see Adding an existing application with drag and drop.
