Creating a Portfolio

You can create a portfolio local to your file system. Or, you can create a portfolio in a location accessible to your HTTP server, so other WorkShop users on the Internet can access the projects in the portfolio.

To create a portfolio:

  1. Choose Portfolio => Create.

  2. In the Create Portfolio dialog box, enter the path name of the portfolio, including the extension .psf.

    If you want other Java WorkShop users on the Internet to have access to your portfolio, enter a path name that is accessible by your HTTP server.

  3. Click the Create button.

The WorkShop creates the .psf portfolio file in the directory you specified. If you do not specify a path name, the WorkShop creates the portfolio in your .jws directory.

The WorkShop makes the new portfolio the current portfolio and displays its name in the tool bar. The WorkShop also adds the portfolio name to the Choose and Remove submenus in the Portfolio menu.

The new portfolio is empty. To create a project in your portfolio, click the Create button in the Portfolio Manager. See What Is a Project? for information on projects.
