PATH WebObjects 4.5 Documentation > Creating a Java Client Application: A Tutorial

Creating the StudioManager Project

Every Java Client application starts out as a project . A project is a repository for all the elements that go into the application, such as source code files, makefiles, frameworks, libraries, packages, the application's user interface, sounds, and images. You use the Project Builder application to create and manage projects.

Start Project Builder.
Choose Project Builder from the WebObjects program group.

You must create or open a project to get Project Builder's main window. The New Project panel allows you to specify a new project's name and location.
Make a new project.
On Mac OS X Server:
Choose Project New.
Using the browser, select the directory in which you want the project to reside.
Type the name of the project in the Name field.
Select Webobjectsapplication from the Project Type pop-up list.
Click OK to create the project.

On Windows NT:
Choose Project New.
In the Project Path field of the New Project panel, type the file system path where the project is to reside.
Give the project the name "StudioManager" by typing this as the last component of the path.
Select Webobjectsapplication from the Project Type pop-up list.
Click OK to create the project.

To name the project and give it a directory location, you can either use the Browse button to navigate to the directory in which you want to put the new project, or you can type the full path in the Project Path field. The item selected from the Project Type pop-up list causes Project Builder to include all frameworks and supporting files necessary for that type of project.
