Create a solution

Creating a new solution (or importing a solution) in Servoy creates a new Eclipse project, meaning that a new folder will be placed in the currently active workspace folder.  The new folder name will the same as the name of the solution.

Create a New Solution

1. Choose one of the following
   1. Select File>New>New Project from the menu in Servoy Developer. A window will appear; select the Servoy node and select New Solution, click Next.
   2. Select the New Button in the top toolbar. A window will appear; select the Servoy node and select New Solution, click Next.
   3. Right click on the All Solutions node OR the currently active solution.  Select Create new solution from the menu. A window will appear.
2. At this point, there should be a window with "Create a New solution" at the top. Enter a name for the solution.
3. Select solution type. Normal is sufficient for most cases.  You can specify if it is a module if you know it will only be used as a module.  Smart client only and web client only are also available.
4. Select a resource project.  The default is normally sufficient.  You can create your own if you desire.  

   TIP

   Best practices: It is recommended to only have one resource project per workspace to reduce confusion.

Importing an Existing Solution

You may desire to use an existing solution from an export (.servoy) file.  If you performed a default installation, there are sample solutions available in the <servoy install folder>/application_server/solutions/examples folder that can be installed and used.
