# Launching a Zimbra Application

Launching a Zimbra application is as simple as launching the Zimbra application's control file (i.e. html or jsp file). This will kick off the creation of the JavaScript objects that make up the application. Launching the control file can be done one of two ways.

The first way (traditional way), is to select the target control file, right click and select Run As > Run on Server. If a server has not been defined for the target application, one will have to be created at this point using the dialogs provided. Once a server has been defined and saved, the application control file will be launched using the default system browser within the Eclipse workbench.

The second way (preferred way), is to take advantage of the enhanced ATF DHTML tooling and launch the application in the embedded Mozilla browser. To do this, select the application's control file (i.e. html or jsp file), right click and select Run As > Run in Mozilla. If a server has not been defined for the target application, one will have to be created at this point using the dialogs provided. Once a server has been defined and saved, the application control file will be launched using the embedded Mozilla browser within Eclipse. With the Mozilla browser, the user has the ability to use the additional DHTML tools that ATF provides, such as the DOM Inspector and JavaScript console, to assist in debugging the Zimbra web application.
