Create Java Eclipse project with name MyAkrogenProject. If you don't want test tutorials with Java context, Simple Eclipse project is enough.

Set src directory as source of your Java project.

Create MyAkrogenCatalog directory into MyAkrogenProject project which must contains the 3 required folder :

  • Components which will contain your XML components.
  • Templates which will contain your templates (Freemarker, Velocity ou XSLT).
  • Wizards which will contain your XML wizards.

Catalog does not have obligatorily to be stored into the Eclipse project, but catalog conception is easier if you set the catalog into the Eclipse project.

If catalog doesn't appear in the catalog view, refresh view with Refresh icon in top on the right view catalogue.
