| Application client projects contain programs that run on networked client |

| <p>Like |

| more project facets, which represent units of functionality in the project. |
| A new application client project should have the Application Client module |

| default</span> check box under <span class="uicontrol">Project contents</span> and |
| select a new location with the <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> button.</span> |
| If you specify a non-default project location that is already being |
| used by another project, the project creation will fail.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you type |
| a new EAR project name, the EAR project will be created in the default location |
