Creating a Development Component
Use
In this step, you create a new development component (DC) and define a new activity. Later on you will use the DC as an environment in which you can develop the different development objects – the required library for deployment. On the other hand, the activity is the way to communicate the changes you make to this DC with the development infrastructure.
Prerequisites
● You have configured a Design Time Repository (DTR) client.
● You started the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and are logged on to the development infrastructure.
Procedure
1. In the perspective Development Configurations, switch to the Inactive DCs view.
2. Open the node of your development configuration APPL_dev.
3. Select the entry example.org_application and in the context menu, choose Create New DC.
4. On the Development Component Project dialog, enter the following:

5. Choose Next.
The dialog window DTR Activity appears.
6. When prompted for an activity, choose Newto create a new activity.
This activity is used to record the creation of the component in the DTR.
7. Enter New J2EE Library as the display name of the new activity and choose OK.
The dialog window DTR Activity appears again.
8. Select your new activity and choose Next.
The dialog window J2EE Library Project appears again.
9. To create the DC, choose Finish.
The J2EE Development perspective appears and you should see a new project for your component in the J2EE DC Explorer view.
The new component has no coding of its own except a special deployment identifier in the META-INFfolder under the Project node → DC MetaData → DC Definition → Folders → META-INF.
Result
You see a new project for your DC in the Package Explorer view.
