This topic covers how to create an EGL project.
To create an EGL project:
- From the menu bar, click The
New Project window opens.
- In the New Project window, expand EGL and
click EGL Project Wizard. If you do not seeEGL
Project Wizard, select the Show All Wizards check
box.
- Click Next.
- Type a name for the project in the Project name field.
- Under EGL Project Types, select the type
of project:
- For a project that can contain JSF web pages or web services,
select Web Project and see Creating an EGL
web project.
- For a general-use project appropriate for batch, reporting, or
other applications with simple user interfaces, select General
Project and continue with the instructions on this page.
- For a project that can contain portlets, select Portlet
Project.
- For a project that can use rich client platform (RCP) user interface,
select Plug-in Project.
- For a project used to develop EGL Rich UI applications, select Rich
UI Project and see Starting to work with EGL Rich UI.
- Under Target Runtime Platform, select the
language to which EGL will generate your project: Java™ or COBOL.
- Under Build Descriptor Options,
choose where the default build descriptor for the project will be
located or created:
- If you want to configure other options for the project, such as
the location of the project or what additional EGL features to add,
select Show Advanced Settings and then click Next.
Otherwise, click Finish.
- Accept the default location for the project in the Project
location section or clear the Use the default
location for the project check box and specify a new location.

the check boxes for the additional features to include in the project,
if any. For more information on features, see Features and facets
of EGL projects.
- If you want an EGL deployment descriptor in the project, select Create
an EGL deployment descriptor. Selecting this check box
also sets the deploymentDescriptor build
descriptor option to the name of the deployment descriptor, which
has the same name as the project.

page, select any other projects in your workspace to be added to the
build path of the new project.
