# Creating a Zimbra Project

To begin, we need a suitable Zimbra project in the workbench. To create a new project with Zimbra capabilities, select File > New > Project > Web > Dynamic Web Project. The project name is required as well as a suitable target server runtime. If a server runtime has not yet been defined, a new one can be defined by selecting the New button next to the Target runtime combo box, or by selecting Window > Preferences > Server > Installed Runtimes. On the second project wizard page, make sure that the Zimbra facet is selected before pressing the Finish button.

Once a Zimbra project has been created, the project will contain all the necessary Zimbra artifacts to develop a Zimbra web application. The Zimbra runtime artifacts will be located under the web root of the project within the zimbraAjax directory.
