 <h1 class="id_title">Creating an application client project</h1>


 <div class="id_taskbody"><p class="id_shortdesc">You can use a wizard to create a new
 application client project and add it to a new or existing enterprise application
 project.</p>

 <div class="id_context"> <p class="anchor_topictop" />
  <p>Application
 client projects contain the resources needed for application client modules
 and programs that run on networked client systems. An application client project
 is deployed as a JAR file.</p>
 <p>Like the other types of projects, application
 client projects can contain one or more project facets, which represent units
 of functionality in the project. A new application client project should have
 the Application Client module facet. Depending on what you want to use the
 project for, you may want to enable other facets for the project.</p>
 <p>To
 create a J2EE application client project, complete the following steps:</p>
 </div>

 <ol class="id_steps">
 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Java™ EE perspective, click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span>
  &gt; <span class="uicontrol">New</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Project</span></span>.</span>
 </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the New Project Wizard, select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Java
 EE</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Application Client Project</span></span> and
 click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Project Name</span> field, type a name for
 the application client project. </span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To change the default project location, clear
 the <span class="uicontrol">Use 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
 with the lowest compatible Java EE version based on the version of the project
 being created. If you want to specify a different version or a different location
 for the enterprise application, you must use the New Enterprise Application
 Project wizard.</div>
 </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To add the new project to an enterprise application
 project, select the <span class="uicontrol">Add project to an EAR</span> check box
 and select a project in the <span class="uicontrol">EAR Project Name</span> list.</span>
  If you choose to add the project to an existing EAR project, the <span class="uicontrol">Target
 runtime</span> field becomes disabled because the target runtime for
 the new project will be the same as that of the EAR project.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Target runtime</span> field, select the
 target runtime for the project.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To use a predefined configuration for your
 project, select a configuration in the <span class="uicontrol">Configurations</span> list.
 You can click the <span class="uicontrol">Modify</span> button to do the following:</span>
  <ul>
 <li>Customize project facets. Select the check boxes next to the facets you
 want the project to have and select a version number for each facet. Select
 a facet name to see more information about that facet in the <span class="uicontrol">Details</span> tab.
 You can also choose a preset combination of facets from the <span class="uicontrol">Configurations</span> list.</li>

 <li>Limit your project to be compatible with one or more runtimes. Click the <span class="uicontrol">Show
 Runtimes</span> tab and select the runtimes that you want the project
 to be compatible with. </li>

 </ul>
 Click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">Source Folder</span> field, enter the name
 of the folder to use for source code. </span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>To create a default class for the module,
 select the <span class="uicontrol">Create a default Main class</span> check box.</span>
 </li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span>.</span></li>
