    Import Option on Right-clicking Project Explorer

Note: The import functionality is also available from the command line interface. For more information, see Using the bwdesign Utility.
Important: The minimum JDK compiler compliance required is 1.5. If the project that you are importing with Java nature has JDK compiler compliance less than 1.5, TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks imports the project as it is and you may see Java-related problems in your project. You can then choose to upgrade the JDK compiler compliance version to the one greater than 1.5 by clicking the Yes button on the Confirm window. When you click Yes, the default Java version of the environment is set to 11.

By default, the Java Compiler settings, available on right-clicking the project in the project explorer, has the JDK Compliance set to 11.
