Creating a New StreamBase Project

StreamBase Studio stores files associated with your StreamBase application in a StreamBase project. Before you can start building a StreamBase application, you will need to create a new StreamBase project. Each project may contain one or more applications and associated files.

To create a new StreamBase project:

  1. Open the New StreamBase Project Wizard: click File → New → StreamBase Project or click the New StreamBase Project button near the top of the SB Authoring perspective.

  2. Type a name for the new project in the Project Name field.

  3. By default, StreamBase Studio creates your project within your current workspace. To change where the contents of the project will be stored, uncheck the Use default location option and specify an alternate directory in the Location field (or use the Browse button to choose one).

  4. The options to create an empty EventFlow application and an empty StreamSQL application are enabled by default. To omit the empty application files, deselect the Create empty EventFlow Application file or Create empty StreamSQL Application file options. You can always create applications later.

  5. The option to create a server configuration file for your project is enabled by default. If this file, sbd.sbconf, exists in the root folder of your project, it controls the sbd server that is used when you run applications in StreamBase Studio. Initially, the file contains only default settings; you can edit the file to modify server behavior as required for your application design, as described in Defining a StreamBase Server Configuration in the Administration Guide.

    You can have other sbconf files, but StreamBase Studio uses only the file named sbd.sbconf in the root folder of your project.

  6. If you plan to use a Java client application, Java operator, or Java function with applications in your project, you should enable the option to Add the StreamBase Client API to the java build path now. If you do not choose this option, you can add Java support later.

  7. Click Finish. When a confirmation message is diplayed, click OK to dismiss the confirmation window.

The New StreamBase Project wizard populates the Package Explorer with a project folder using the name you typed, and populates the project with the resources you chose in the wizard.
