Creating a message set project

This task topic describes how to create a new message set project using the New Message Set Project wizard.

You must create a message set project before you can create a message set. You can optionally create a message set immediately after you create a message set project, or you can create the message set later.

Tip: You can only have one message set within a message set project. A message set project cannot refer to any other message sets.

To create a new message set project:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open the New Message Set Project wizard. To do this, right-click anywhere in the Resource Navigator then click New > Message Set Project on the pop-up menu.

    Alternatively, from the workbench menu, click File > New > Message Set Project or click the Create a new message set project icon on the toolbar at the top of the workbench window.

  3. Type the Project Name for the message set project that you are creating.
  4. Optional: At this point you can specify a directory in which you want to store the project contents. If you do not specify a directory the default is used. To specify a directory, first clear the Use default check box and then either type the path in Directory or click Browse to navigate to the folder that you want to use to store your project contents.
  5. Optional: If you do not want to create a message set within the message set project at the moment, click Finish. Your message set project is created immediately and the New Message Set Project wizard automatically closes.
  6. If you do now want to create a message set within the message set project, click Next to move to the next page of the wizard.
  7. Type a Message Set Name then specify the properties for the message set as described in Creating a message set. Note that when you type the name, this enables the Next button, allowing you to move to the next page of the wizard.
  8. Click Finish. A message set project is created with the name that you specified. A message set is also created within the message set project, with the name and properties that you specified.
