Working with Environment Projects

Environment projects contain Environment entities. You work with Environment projects and entities in the Environment perspective, which enables you to manage the attributes associated with your run-time environments, including connection attributes, projects ready to be deployed, projects previously deployed, and associated project attributes such as the version and build numbers.

When working with Environment projects, see "Creating Environment Projects" for more information.

Creating Environment Projects

You create environment projects to contain the attributes associated with your environment, including connection attributes, projects to be deployed and previously deployed, and associated project attributes.

To create environment projects:

  1. From the Studio menu, select New, then select Project, and then select Environment Project.

    The New Studio Environment Project dialog box appears.

  2. In the Name field, enter a name for the environment.

    The name must be unique among environment entities in the same namespace.

  3. (Optional) Select a location for the project.

    By default, Design Studio saves the project to your default workspace location. To identify a location different from the default:

    1. Deselect Use default location.

    2. Click Browse.

    3. Navigate to the directory in which to save the project.

    4. Click OK.

  4. Select an execution environment.

    Specify the Java version that you are using. The preferred java version appears by default. The default value that appears is the execution environment that is specified in Preferences, Java, Installed JREs preferences page. If no default value is defined on the Installed JREs preferences page, Design Studio uses the execution environment of the primary Eclipse feature.You can select a different supported version from the list.

    When you create the project, Design Studio automatically configures the JRE System Library and the compiler compliance setting.

  5. Click Finish.

    Design Studio saves the changes and adds a new environment project to the Studio Projects view.
