Working with packages

You have several actions available to perform once your query yields some search result as depicted in the following image. You can select each record in the table for action by clicking on its respective checkbox in the first column of the table. The actions available depends on the type of the package and number of items selected. See the following figures for more details.

Tab. 1. Package Types
Icon	Type	Description
	Eclipse Project (local)	The package contains an Eclipse project (example), and you can directly import it to your Workspace and build. The import manager makes a copy of all the project sources to your Workspace in the process.
	Eclipse Project (external)	Similiar to the previous. The difference is that the import manager cannot copy sources of the project into your Workspace. You have to provide the location in your file system, and the import manager copies sources to this location instead.
	PDF Document	The package contains one or more PDF documents. You may inspect these documents directly using the Package Explorer as we discuss further in this chapter.
	Generic Content	The package contains a generic content. Such a package you can typically only save or inspect using the Package Explorer.

Fig. 1. Content Manager Actions

Number	Description
1	Select the item(s) you want to work with. Some actions are available just for one selected item only. You can use surtcut key + to select all rows in the table at once.
2	Obtain the share link URL. You can conveniently use the link to download the item directly from the HighTec cloud even without the HighTec IDE Development Platform running (for example using a web browser). The link is valid for three days since you generate it.
3	Save the package to your local file system. If the same file already exists in the directory, it is overwritten automatically.
4	Check the box if you want to automatically copy sources of the project you are importing into your Workspace. Leave it unchecked if you wish to select another location. This option applies to the Eclipse Project package types only (see Package Types).
5	Import the project into your Eclipse Workspace. This action fails if the project with the same name already exists in the Workspace. You may optionally select a different project location depending on the state of the checkbox [4]. The option applies to the Eclipse Project package types only (see Package Types).
6	Image associated with the package Project Type (see Package Types).
7	View package content. Opens a new view where you can inspect and save individual files from the package. See chapter Package Explorer.
8	Universally unique identifier (UUID) of the package. You can use it as a reference to the given package. You can also use the UUID as a search query.

Content Manager Package

A Content Manager Package is technically a compressed TAR image (TAR.GZ). You can use all sorts of widely available utilities to extract such an image (e.g., 7ZIP, Total Commander or Linux utilities). Regardless of the package type, you can always at least download and save the package to your local file system.
