WARNING: This tutorial is being written! Do not hesitate to report any errors or suggestions.

The way for creating a new Ellipse project through the Ellipse plugin for Eclipse is relatively simple. Simply follow the next points.

tart Eclipse and select the desired workspace. The workspace is a directory where you can define several projects: said otherwise a workspace is a set of projects.

From the "File" menu, create a new project of type "Java Web Project". To do so, click on "Other...": the dialog box below appears: pull down the folder "Java Web Development" and select in "Java Web Project".

A second dialog box appears: it allows you to enter the characteristics of your project. Just as in the screenshot below, give it a name, why not "Demo".

Please note that you can specify the Web server used (or the application server Java EE). If you use Tomcat, then configure your project to use your server. Click on the button "Next": a new dialog box appears to continue the configuration of your Web project.

Just look if the Ellipse facet is well selected. Then click on "Finish". Your project is now created. Please note that the file WEB-INF/web.xml is already present and configured. Also note that the jar corresponding to the Ellipse framework is already placed in the libraries used by your "Build Path."

To deploy your project on your Web server, just click with the right-button of your mouse on the project considered. Then choose "Run as" then choose "Run on server". Your application will be deployed and you can test it through URLs beginning with http://127.0.0.1:8080/Demo/.
