| Creating your first Java project |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| In this section, you will create a new Java project. You will be using |
| JUnit as your example project. JUnit is an open source unit testing framework for Java. Refer to <a href= |
| "http://www.junit.org">http://www.junit.org/</a> for more information on JUnit. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select the menu item <strong>File > New > Project...</strong>. to |
| open the <strong>New Project</strong> wizard. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the left pane of the first wizard page, select <strong>Java</strong>, and on the right pane, select <strong>Java Project</strong>. Then click <strong>Next</strong>. |
| On the next page, type "JUnit" in the <strong>Project name</strong> |
| field and click <strong>Finish</strong>. A Java perspective opens inside the workbench with the new Java |
| project in the Package Explorer. When the Java perspective is active, new menu options and Java specific buttons are loaded in the workbench toolbar. Depending on which |
| view or editor is active, other buttons and menu options will be available. |

| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the Package Explorer, make sure that the JUnit project is selected. Select the menu item <strong>File > Import...</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select <strong>Zip file</strong>, then click <strong>Next</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click the <strong>Browse</strong> button next to the <strong>Zip file</strong> field and browse to select |
| <eclipseInstallPath>/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.examples.projects/archive/junit/junit37src.jar.<br> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> This step assumes that the JDT example plug-ins have been downloaded and installed.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the Import wizard, below the hierarchy list click <strong>Select All</strong>. You can expand and select elements within the <em>junit</em> directory |
| on the left pane to view the individual resources that you are importing on the right pane. <em>Note: Do not deselect any of the resources in the</em> junit directory at |
| this time. You will need all of these resources in the tutorial. |
| <p> |

| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Make sure that the JUnit project appears in the destination <strong>Folder</strong> field. Then click <strong>Finish</strong>. In the import progress indicator, notice |
| that the imported resources are compiled as they are imported into the workbench. This is because the <strong>Perform build automatically on resource modification</strong> |
| option is checked on the Workbench preferences page. You will be |
| prompted to overwrite the .classpath file in the JUnit project. |
| This is because the .classpath resource was created for you when you |
| created the JUnit project. It is safe to overwrite this file. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the Package Explorer view, expand the JUnit project to view the JUnit packages. |
