Step 3: Initializing your team's SOWE

The goal of this step is create the SSWE directory structure in the SOWE. SNiFF+ does this for you when you open the shared project in the SOWE for the first time.
For single-platform development, complete the following steps once. For multi-platform development, complete the following steps for each target platform.

Open the Working Environments tool.
Double-click on your team's SOWE in the hierarchy of available working environments. For multi-platform development, double-click on the SOWE for the target platform.
The Open Project dialog appears.
If the Project List is initially empty, press the Update List button to display all the projects that can be opened in the SOWE.
A dialog appears asking you whether SNiFF+ should also look in any accessed working environments for projects that can be opened in the SOWE. Here, the SOWE accesses the SSWE, so pressing Yes will display also the projects in the SSWE.
Press Yes.
Select the root shared project (all other projects are its subprojects) and press Open.
SNiFF+ informs you that it cannot find the directories of the shared project in the SOWE root directory (they haven't been created yet). You will now have SNiFF+ copy the SSWE project directory structure into the SOWE.
Enable Repeat and press Create Directory. This will save you from having to press Create Directory for each new project directory.
SNiFF+ will now incrementally create the project directories. When done, the SOWE root directory contains the same project directory structure as the SSWE.
SNiFF+ also creates a Project Makefile in each project directory. On Unix, the Project Makefile will be a symbolic link to the corresponding Project Makefile in the SSWE. On Windows NT/95, a local copy is made instead.
When SNiFF+ is finished, it opens the new project in the SOWE and displays its structure and contents in the Project Editor.
In the Launch Pad, select the shared project and then choose Project > Close Project to close the shared project in the SOWE.
Your SOWE is now set up. The next step is to initialize each team member's PWE. Basically, you will go through the same procedure for each PWE as you just did for the SOWE.
