Creating an application client project

You can use a wizard to create a new application client project and add it to a new or existing enterprise application project.

1. In the J2EE perspective, click File > New > Application Client Project. The New Application Client Project window opens.
2. In the Name field, type a name for the application client project.
3. To change the default Project location, click the Browse button to select a new location. If you specify a non-default project location that is already being used by another project, the project creation will fail.
4. Click Show Advanced.
5. In the Target runtime drop-down list, select the application server that you want to target for your development. This selection affects the run time settings by modifying the class path entries for the project.
6. In the Module version drop-down list, select the module version to which you want your application client project to adhere.
7. Specify whether you want to add the new module to an enterprise application (EAR) project.
8. In the EAR application combination box, type a new project name or select an existing enterprise application project from the drop-down list. Or, click the New button to launch the New Enterprise Application Project wizard.
   Note: If you type a new EAR project name, the EAR project will be created in the default location with the lowest compatible J2EE version based on the version of the project being created. If you want to specify a different version or a different location for the enterprise application, you must use the New Enterprise Application Project wizard.
9. Click Finish.
