Create a new project

Create a new project to manage the project source files, libraries, and database schemas.

1. Select File > New.
2. Click on the type of project you wish to create.

   Choose between a structured or simple project. Do you want to start with a predefined structure, or do you want to define your own structure? See Structured projects for more detail about the predefined structure of a structured project.

   Choose between a BAM project or a general project. BAM projects intend to use the Business Application Modeler to generate the application. See What is Business Application Modeling (BAM)? for more information.

   Choose between a Desktop or Mobile project. This decision impacts which packaging nodes are given when you create the project.
