Exporting and importing Mule files

In the previous example, we developed a new Mule project in Anypoint Studio. If we need to share the project with other developers or deploy this application into CloudHub or another deployment model, then we have to export the project.

We can export the project using the following options:

  • Exporting a Mule application as a JAR file
  • Exporting a Mule application as a filesystem
