Project directories
Pulpcore expects a few directories to be present in a project before the Ant script will be able to build your applet.
Create a new folder in the root of your project called "lib".
Lib is where you will put all third party JAR files that your Pulpcore applet will use.
Create another folder in the root of your project called "res".
Under the new res folder create two new directory's called them "jar" and "zip" respectively.
Your package explorer should look like this.
Res is the resources directory. Any thing in the jar directory will get built into your applets JAR file.
Anything in the zip directory will get build into a ZIP file that your applet will load.
Since Pulpcore applets need to load the JAR file first before they can display a pleasant loading screen you I suggest keeping as many of your assets in the zip folder. This way your end user will get to see an updated loading bar much sooner and will be less likely to bail on loading your applet.
