Creating a Project

The first task to use a plugin is creating a project. You can add resources and processes after creating a project.

An Eclipse project is an application module configured for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™. An application module is a resource unit that is named, versioned, and packaged as part of an application.

Procedure

  1. Start TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks:
    • Windows: Select Start > All Programs > TIBCO > TIBCO_HOME > TIBCO Business Studio version_number > Studio for Designers.
    • Linux: Run the TIBCO Business Studio executable file located in the TIBCO_HOME/studio/version_number/eclipse directory.
    • Mac OS: Run the TIBCO Business Studio executable file located in the TIBCO_HOME/studio/version_number/eclipse directory.
  2. Select 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, configure the project to create:
    1. 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. To create a Java module select the Use Java configuration check box.
      A Java module provides the Java tooling capabilities.
    6. Click Finish to create the project.

A project and an application are created and displayed in the Project Explorer view. The Process editor opens automatically.
