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.  

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