Creating an MDWorkbench project

Transformation and generation files must be contained in an MDWorkbench project.

To create an MDWorkbench project:

1. Click File > New > Project....
2. Select MDWorkbench Project and click Next.
3. Type the name of the project to create (e.g. MyProject) in the Project name field.
4. Click Next.
5. Select in the second wizard page the metamodels that you intend to use.
6. Click Finish.

The created project shows up in the Project Explorer view.

The project contains an src folder, where we will put the MDWorkbench source files. It also references libraries:

• JRE System Library: runtime libraries required to compile and run Java code.
• Plugin Dependencies: metamodel libraries required by your rules and templates.
• MDWorkbench Required Libraries: runtime libraries required to compile and run MDWorkbench files.
