| </p><p> | |
| To create a PAR, right-click in the | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Package Explorer</em></span> | |
| and select | |
| <span class="guimenu">New</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Project…</span> | |
| . In the dialog that opens select | |
| <span class="guimenu">EclipseRT</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">PAR Project</span> | |
| and press | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Next</em></span> | |
| . | |
| </p><p> | |
| In the New PAR Project dialog, ensure the | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Use default location</em></span> | |
| option is unchecked, enter a suitable name for the project, set the location to a suitable directory, and press | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Next</em></span> | |
| . For example, the Greenpages sample PAR project would look like this: | |
| </p><div class="mediaobject" align="center"><img src="images/create-par-project.png" align="middle"></div><p> | |
| </p><p> | |
| In the next dialog, some of the PAR properties are pre-populated. Set the Application Name and the Version as | |
| appropriate, then ensure that the | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Target Runtime</em></span> | |
| is set to | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Virgo Web Server (Runtime) ...</em></span> | |
| and press | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Next</em></span> | |
| . For example: | |
| </p><div class="mediaobject" align="center"><img src="images/par-content.png" align="middle"></div><p> | |
| </p><p> | |
| In the next dialog, select the bundles so that they are contained in the PAR and press | |
| <span class="emphasis"><em>Finish</em></span> | |
| . For example: | |
| </p><div class="mediaobject" align="center"><img src="images/bundle-references.png" align="middle"></div><p> | |
| </p><p>The PAR project is then created. | |
