Set Up the SAP Java Project in Eclipse

Once the Java IDE has been installed, you must set up the development or build project that will allow you to modify, compile, and debug the Java portion of the SAP application.

The following items must be a part of your Java development project:

The Java source files for the SAP application
The jCo.jar file
The Agentry-level *.class files, provided with the SAP Agentry Server in the sub-directory Java\Syclo\Agentry. All of the *.class files in this folder should be part of the project.
Optionally, the junit.jar file, provided with the Eclipse Java IDE.

Retrieve the Java source files for the SAP application by contacting SAP's Customer Support. Included in these files will be the Java source files for all of the Java classes used by the SAP. These include the steplet classes used in the Java step definitions, and the classes used by the data tables and complex tables of the application. When creating the project in your Java IDE, the Java source files from SAP should be imported to the development project in the IDE.
The Java files provided by SAP are the source files for your project. The *.class files must also be a part of the project's build path. These are the Java files that make up the Agentry Java API. They are installed with the SAP and can be referenced from the Server's installation location, or they can be copied to a location convenient to the IDE.
The jCo.jar file for the SAP Java Connector toolkit must be a part of the build path for the project. This can be referenced in the SAP Agentry Server location, or at some other location convenient to the Java IDE. If the Editor is installed to a separate host system from that of the SAP Agentry Server, the JCo.jar file must be extracted from the Java Connector ZIP file. It can be placed in any convenient location. Be sure to note this location as it will be needed in the Java project created in the IDE.
SAP recommends that you include this junit.jar file in your build path if you are using the Eclipse IDE. The junit.jar file is provided with Eclipse and is a library of Java classes used for debugging purposes, several of which are implemented in the SAP Java classes. If this is not included in your project, you will receive warnings related to these classes at build time. The junit.jar file can be found in the Eclipse install directory at:
```
C:\eclipse\plugins\org.junit_4.2.8
```
