Creating Apama projects

1. From the Software AG Designer menu, select File > New > Apama Project to display the New Project dialog. If you are using the Apama Workbench perspective, you can also click the New Project button in top right of the Workbench Project view.

2. In the New Apama Project dialog, specify information for the following fields:

a. In the Project Name field, enter the name of your new project. Project names typically use title case capitalization and may contain spaces, for example. “My Project”.

b. If you want to store the project in a directory other than the default location, clear the Use default location checkbox, click Browse, and navigate to and select the location for storing your new project.

3. In the Configure the new project wizard, add checkmarks to the bundles that are appropriate to the type of application you are developing. For example, if your application is a dataview application, select the DataView Service bundle. When you create a new project, the settings for the selected bundles remain same as they were for the last time you created a new project. You can change these settings and specify other bundles for your application. Click Next.

Bundles package service monitors, event definitions and other files associated with the standard Apama adapters that are required for the type of application you are building. For example, applications that include scenarios need the Scenario Service bundle; this is selected by default. Applications that use data views need the DataView bundle. If your application requires an adapter, select the associated bundle from this list.

If you are creating a project for a JMon application or developing Java connectivity plug-ins, select Add Apama Java support. If you want to apply standard Eclipse Java support, select Add Java support. See Adding the Java nature to an Apama project for detailed information on these options. Click Next.

4. If you have selected Add Apama Java support, the Configure the new Apama Java application dialog appears. Fill in the fields as desired. Click Finish.

5. If you are not currently in an Apama perspective, the Open Associated Perspective? dialog appears; it is up to you whether to select Remember my decision. Click Yes or No.

If you are in the Apama Developer perspective, Software AG Designer displays the name of your new project in the Project Explorer view pane on the left of the perspective. If this is your first project, the other panes are blank.
