Creating a Deployment Package Project File
The Deployment Package Project file provides information needed to create a new deployment package. You can define the contents of the deployment package, as well as its output directory, ant build file, etc.
To create a Deployment Package Project file:
- Select a preliminary created project/folder in one of the navigation views in the Workbench and use one of the following approaches:
- From the File menu select File > New > Other
- From the navigation view's popup menu choose New > Other
- From the Workbench window's toolbar, activate the drop-down menu on the New Wizard button and select File > New > Other . To activate the drop-down menu simply click on the down arrow.
- Expand the OSGi node and click Deployment Package Definition to open the corresponding wizard. Click Next.
- In the New dpp file wizard specify the initial deployment package properties:
- In the Target folder field, type the path of the project/folder where the resource will be stored or click Browse to select a path.
- In the File name field, type the name of the Deployment Package Project file.
- In the Symbolic name field, type the symbolic name of the new deployment package following the syntax rules introduced in the OSGi Service Platform Compendium Specification, Release 4.2.
- In the Version field, type the version of the new deployment package following the standard rules for version syntax presented in the OSGi Service Platform Core Specification, Release 4.
- (Optional) To easily generate the update of a deployment package for which you already have a ready Deployment Package Project (.dpp) file in the workspace, in the Options pane, check the Derive from dpp file box and use the Browse button to locate the file of the .dpp file whose properties should be used for the creation of the new Deployment Package Project file. The new package will automatically inherit the symbolic name from the source .dpp file.

- Click Finish to create a new Deployment Package Project file immediately or Cancel to quit and exit the operation.
The created Deployment Package Project file appears under the selected project/file and can later be edited and used for the generation of a new deployment package.
