Hi,

Thanks,

Eclipse tells what type of project you have through the .project file. The easiest way to change the project type is:

1) Create a new empty dynamic project
2) Check out from eclipse (right now you still have a Java project)
3) Copy the builders section from the .project file in the project created in step #1 to your java project (now you have a dynamic web project)
4) Delete the temporary project created in step #1
5) Check in the original project to CVS
