Creating an Advanced Java project

Before you begin

About this task

Starting with IBM AD v6.0.2, you can create Java projects from the IBM AD Build Client's user interface. The Java Project follows the same lifecycle as for the mainframe projects.

When creating a Java project in IBM AD Build a project folder is created on the machine add the source files need to be added in the project's file-system location.

To create a new Java project, follow these steps.

Procedure

  1. Select File > New > New Project. The New Project window appears.
  2. Choose Other/OOP language (Java) as project type and click Next.. The New Project - Other Language windows appears.
  3. Enter the name of the new project in the Project Name field.
  4. Select an environment from the CCS Environment list. The environment options are defined in IBM AD Configuration Server.
  5. Click Finish. The new project is created and displayed as a tree in the Project pane (left side of the window).
  6. To complete the creation of the Java project, you must add the source files in the project's file-system location and then build the project. For more information, see Building Projects.
    Important:
    • It is expected to populate the source project's folder from SCM such as GIT, CVS or EWM. IBM AD Build Client does not automate the interaction with SCM.
    • The source files will not be visible in IBM AD Build Client, in the Project pane (left side of the window), after the source folder has been populated.
