Creating a Project

In the Getting Started tutorial, the first task you must do using the plug-in is to create a project.

An Eclipse project is an application module configured for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6.x. An application module is the smallest unit of resources that is named, versioned, and packaged as part of an application.

Procedure

  1. Start TIBCO Business Studio using one of the following ways:
    • Microsoft Windows:
      • Click Start > All Programs > TIBCO > TIBCO_HOME > TIBCO Business Studio version_number > Studio for Designers.
      • Double-click the TIBCO Business Studio executable file located in the TIBCO_HOME/studio/version_number/eclipse directory.
    • Mac OS and Linux: run the TIBCO Business Studio executable file located in the TIBCO_HOME/studio/version_number/eclipse directory.
  2. From the menu, click File > New > BusinessWorks Resources to open the BusinessWorks Resource Wizard.
  3. In the Select a wizard dialog box, click BusinessWorks Application Module and click Next to open the New BusinessWorks Application Module wizard.
  4. In the Project dialog box, configure the project that you want to create:
    1. In the Project name field, enter a project name.
    2. By default, the created project is located in the workspace currently in use. If you do not want to use the default location for the project, clear the Use default location check box and click Browse to select a new location.
    3. Use the default version of the application module, or enter a new version in the Version field.
    4. Keep the Create empty process and Create Application check boxes selected to automatically create an empty process and an application when creating the project.
    5. Optional: Select the Use Java configuration check box if you want to create a Java module.
      A Java module provides the Java tool capabilities.
    6. Click Finish to create the project.

Result

The project is created and displayed in the Project Explorer view and the canvas opens up showing the empty process in the Process Editor view.



What to do next

After you have created a project, the next task is to create a DataGrid connection. See the Getting Started tutorial.
