Creating New Projects
Use
In this step the first developer (called Developer1) creates a new project that will be used for the development in the team. The application that is developed in this tutorial shows a Web page for tax calculation: you enter an income and the tax amount is displayed. In our example, Developer1 is the project leader and in the first step of the development of the application he or she creates the projects.
These are the steps Developer1 takes using the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio:
1. Share the project with the team members.
2. Create a Web module project.
3. Share the Web module project.
4. Add to DTR the files and folders.
5. Check in the entire project to Design Time Repository (DTR)
Procedure
Create an Enterprise Application Project
...
1. From the menu path of the Developer Studio, choose File→ New→ Project→ J2EE→ Enterprise Application Project 5. Choose Next.
2. Name the new project TaxEAR. Choose Finish.
The J2EE perspective is opened and the Project Explorer view becomes visible. An entry for your new project is created in the Explorer.
Share the Project with Team Members
You use the DTR to share projects with all team members. Every team member must have access to the DTR.
...
1. In the J2EE perspective, switch to the Navigator view.
From the menu patch, choose Window → Show View → Navigator.
2. In the project tree, select the entry TaxEAR. In the context menu, choose Team → Share Project…
a. If you are not logged on to the DTR yet, a logon window appears. Enter USER1 and the corresponding password.
b. The Share Project dialog appears.
c. Select Design Time Repository as the repository type. Choose Next.
The upper part of the dialog shows the folder structure on the DTR server.
d. Select your DTR client, that is, DTRClientOfUser1.
e. Browse to scenario1/tax/dev in this structure and select dev.
f. Choose Create Folder and enter projects/TaxEAR. Choose OK.
g. Select the TaxEARfolder and choose Finish.
The project together with its content is moved to the folder c:\DevInf\scenario1\tax\dev\projects\TaxEAR.
This is the location to which the Developer Studio later on replicates the sources from the DTR server.
3. In the Navigator view, select the project TaxEAR. From the context menu, choose DTR → Add → Subtree.
The dialog window Add local-only Resources appears.
4. Accept the proposed resources by choosing OK.
A dialog box Select Activity appears.
5. To create a new activity, in the dialog choose New.
The
activity is used to record your changes. You can add several changes (which
should belong together) to a single activity. For more information about
activities, see
Activity.
6. Enter New Projects as display name of the new activity. Choose OK.
A dialog box appears.
7. In the Select Activitydialog, select the new activity and choose OK.
The files of your project are added to the activity. They are not yet checked in to DTR, so you can use the same activity to create some other projects.
Create a Web Module Project
...
1. To create a Web project, from the menu path chooseFile → New → Project → Web → Web 2.5 → Dynamic Web Project 2.5.

...
1. To add subfolders in the project folder to the DTR:
a. Select all subfolders of the project folder except the bin folder. With multi-select, you can select either files or folders.
The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio uses the bin folder for compiling your projects. For other technologies (WebDynpro, Data Dictionary and so on) you may have to select another set of folders here.
