Creating an extension project

Before you create entity initialization extensions and data provider extensions, you must create an extension project.

1. Click File > New > Other > Insight Designer > Extension Project, and then click Next.
2. In the New Extension Project wizard, enter a name for your extension project.

   The bundle symbolic name is generated.

3. Check that the bundle symbolic name complies with the OSGi naming conventions. Typically, the symbolic name follows the package name style syntax. For example, com.example.myproject.

   The name can contain letters from a to z, digits 0 - 9, periods (.), underscore (_), or dash (-) characters. Spaces and other special characters are not supported.

4. Select a solution project from the menu.
5. Select Create empty project to create an extension project to which you can later add entity initialization extensions and data provider extensions. You can alternatively select Add extension to new project to begin creating a data provider extension or entity initialization extension in the same wizard.
6. Depending on your selection in step 5, click Finish or Next.
