Lesson 1.2: Creating an Eclipse project

Before you submit a new asset to Rational® Asset Manager, you must first create an Eclipse project to hold the asset files, or artifacts, grouped together in your Eclipse workspace.

IIn this lesson, create a project. As you work through the tutorial, this project will contain the SampleAuditAsset that you will create in “Lesson 1.4: Describing the new Audit2007 asset.” This asset defines the new auditing process in the New York division and contains information about the new tooling support that is required for that process. Your company has determined that it needs a small application that tags development efforts with release requirement codes. This new asset contains the design document that outlines the estimated effort and requirements for the new audit tool called Audit2007

Eclipse requires that each asset be contained in an Eclipse project. Projects are used for builds, version management, sharing, and resource organization. Follow these steps to create an Eclipse project:

  1. Open the Navigator view of your Eclipse environment.
  2. Right- click in the Navigator view, and click New > Project
  3. In the Select a Wizard panel, select Project, and click Next.
  4. Type a name for the project: Audit2007
  5. Click Finish This procedure creates a new project to contain the new asset.
  6. Verify that your navigator view resembles the following screen capture:
