In the workbench, you create and maintain resources for Web applications in Web projects. If you want to create a static, content-based Web application that contains no dynamic elements, such as JSP files or servlets, use the New Static Web Project wizard. If you later decide that you want to add dynamic elements to this project, you can convert the project to a dynamic Web project.
Note that static web projects will not run in the provided WebSphere® test environments, but these projects can be previewed in a browser directly from the workspace.
To create a new static Web project, open the Web perspective and complete the following steps:
The New Static Web Project wizard appears.
The default selects the Default style sheet (CSS) check box, which creates a default CSS file (called Master.css) for the project.
If you want to use one of the sample templates provided, select Sample Page Template and then choose one of the templates shown in the Thumbnail box. If you want to use a template of your own, select User-defined Page Template and then click Browse to select the template from the file system.
You can now begin creating or importing content for your Web project using Web resource editors, the New File wizards, or the Import wizards available from the File menu.
