Defining the project

This topic describes how to create a simple project as part of a "Hello World" exercise to verify that the build system is set up properly.

Creating a project

Before you begin

You must set up a server and a selector to use in your HelloWorld project definition.

Procedure

  1. Select Projects. The Project Details panel is displayed at the bottom of the main content panel.
  2. In the Name field, type HelloWorld.
  3. Set Selector to HelloWorldSelector.
  4. Click Save. The system displays the empty step list for the project and a blank Step Details page. Define the step as explained in Creating a step.

Creating a step

Before you begin

To define the first step in the HelloWorld project, you must have started to define the project.

Procedure

  1. On the Step Details page in the Name field, type EchoHelloWorld.
  2. In the Command field, enter a command that writes Hello World to standard output on your chosen server. For example, this command works on Windows®, Solaris, Linux®, UNIX®, and Apple Macintosh OS X operating systems:
    echo Hello World
  3. Click Save Step. The step is displayed in the step list.
