In Virgo, applications consisting of multiple bundles can be
packaged as a PAR.
</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> &#8594; <span class="guimenuitem">Project&#8230;</span>
. In the dialog that opens select
<span class="guimenu">EclipseRT</span> &#8594; <span class="guimenuitem">PAR Project</span>
and press
<span class="emphasis"><em>Next</em></span>
:
</p><div class="mediaobject" align="center"><img src="images/new-par-project.png" align="middle"></div><p>
</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.
