Project name

Project name

The name of the zBuilder project to create. The name must conform to all Eclipse™ project naming restrictions, but there are no other limitations on the project name. The zBuilder project has its own unique nature, com.ibm.team.enterprise.common.common.zBuilder, which is automatically encoded in the project configuration file. The project can be shared with the Enterprise Workflow Management (EWM) Source Control Management (SCM) system or stored in a Git repository.

The zBuilder project is used to store all scripts, properties, and files that are generated by the zBuilder wizards. Eight folders are automatically created within the project and given specific predetermined names that must not be changed. You may not alter the predetermined folder structure, but you may create sub-folders in the structure to hold your own non-generated data and scripts. You may also create other folders in the project to store files. The project folder structure is as follows.

Folder: Usage:
.config A hidden folder which contains the zBuilder configuration information that you have entered.
.launch A hidden folder which contains all of the Eclipse™ launch files for the Ant scripts that have been generated.
builds All build definition scripts are stored in this folder.
engines All build engine definition scripts are stored in this folder.
imports Store any imported Ant scripts that you create in this folder.
scripts Store any Ant build scripts that you create in this folder.
sysdefs All Enterprise Extensions system definition scripts are stored in this folder.
utilities All utility files needed by Ant scripts or other tooling are stored in this folder.

Once the project is created it will have this appearance in the file system:
