Creating Projects and Folders

You must create a project folder to store BPEL process files. A project maps to a folder in the file system.

To create a new project:

1. Select File>New>Project>General>Project, and click Next.
2. Type in a project name.
3. Do one of the following:
• Click Finish to create a project in ActiveBPEL Designer installation folder\Designer\workspace. This is the default location for projects.
• Deselect the check box next to Use default location, and browse to a file system location to create a project. Click Finish when you are done.

Note: If the file system folder you select contains subfolders, all subfolders become part of the project. Be sure to select Make New Folder and type in a folder name if you want an empty project, as the illustration shows.



Note: You cannot create nested projects. Be sure that your projects do not overlap.

4. Your new project appears in the Navigator, and the folder in the file system contains a .project file.

You can now create new BPEL process files, as described in Starting a New Process.

If desired, you can create project folders to organize your files.

To create a project folder:

1. Select File>New>Other>Folder, and click Next.
2. Select a project.
3. Type in a folder name and click Finish. The following illustration shows an example of two folders that have been added to the ActiveBPEL Samples project.
