Because the Java service editor depends on files residing in the local workspace, Designer creates a Service Development Project in the local workspace to store files associated with a Java service. Also, if a Java service requires additional class or jar files so that Designer can compile the service, you add class and jar files to the Service Development Project.

When you first open a Java service, either when you edit it for the first time or by initially creating it, Designer adds a Java class associated with the Java service to a Service Development Project. If a Service Development Project does not already exist for a Java service, Designer creates one. You can view Service Development Projects using the Project Explorer view or Package Explorer view.
