Now that you have all the prerequisites covered lets run through creating a new Pulpcore project with Eclipse.

Fire up the Eclipse IDE. Lets create a new project by selected the File->New->Project menu item.

Select a Java project as shown in this screen shot.

Now we need to fill out the details for the new Java project.

Here is a screen shot and explanation of the choices made.

Project Name:

Since this is our first Pulpcore project lets start out with the industry standard of "Hello world" and set our project name to HelloWorld.

Contents:

Since this is a brand new project we can leave this option set to "Create new project in workspace". This will generally default to c:\workspace\HelloWorld

JRE:

You are generally safe to leave the JRE set to use the default JRE. Pulpcore will use Retroweaver to provide backwards compatibility to Java versions 1.4 up.

Project Layout:

Leave this set as the default.

Working sets:

Since this is our first project we can have it stand alone for now. A working set is not needed.

Press the Finish button and you will have a brand new project turn up in the package explorer side bar.
