Creating a New Development Component and
Activity
Use
In this step, you create a new development component (DC) and define a new activity. Later on you use the DC as an environment in which you can develop the different components – in this tutorial this is the place to create the required packages, interfaces and classes. On the other hand, the activity is the way to communicate the changes you make to this development component.
