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.
