Creating a New webAF Project

Projects help you organize and manage the frames and source files that constitute your applet, servlet, JSP, or application. For additional information, see the webAF online Help.

To create a new project:

1. Start the Project Wizard by selecting File New and selecting the Projects tab, or by clicking the New Project icon () on the System toolbar.
2. Select the appropriate Project Type. The following project types are available:

   Applet Project

   creates a java applet that can be run in a Java-enabled web browser with the Java Plug-in.

   Application Project

   creates Java application that can be run with the Javas platform virtual machine.

   Console Application Project

   creates an application that requires the Java Console for execution and has no graphical user interface. A nonvisual build frame is provided to facilitate drag-and-drop operations, but no additional frames can be added. Only models can be dropped onto the nonvisual build frame.

   Empty Project

   creates an empty project. Empty projects are usually used to create Java class libraries.

   Empty Project from Directory

   Creates a webAF project based on the contents of the directory specified in the Location field (which must be an existing directory). An ANT build file and targets can also be specified for building the project. This project type is usually used to wrap existing Java class libraries so that further development can be performed in webAF.

   Web Application Project

   Creates a Web application, a collection of JSPs, Servets, and applets that contain static text (typically HTML) and embedded code (typically Java or XML custom tags) to support the creation of dynamic content.

   SASMC Plug-in Project

   Creates a SASMC plug-in application with the initial java files, a resource bundle file, and an ANT build file with targets to compile the project and to deploy the plug-in. You will need to customize the initial plug-in code.

   Create from Source Code Control

   Creates a new project from a source control repository by starting the Create Project from Source Control Wizard.

3. Enter the Project Name. This name designates the directory in which project files are stored. It is also used as the base filename for the project files.
4. (Optional) Enter the Java Package. This name designates the package in which your project classes are stored.

   The Location field is completed for you. This is the directory where your project is stored. Click the ellipsis button (...) to select a new path.

5. Click OK.

You now have four options:

• If available, you can click Finish to complete the project definition.

  A new project folder appears in the Project Navigator window. For information on the files that constitute a project, see the webAF online Help.

  If you are creating an applet or application, a blank frame that has the same name as the project appears in the workspace.

• Click Next to continue specifying project options.
• Click Back to return to the first panel, if available.
• Click Cancel to stop without creating the project.
