## Creating a Module Suite Project

See Also

Use a module suite project template to create a module suite. A module suite groups and deploys a set of interdependent module projects and library wrapper module projects. For rich-client applications, the module suite project is a skeleton application to which you can attach a splash screen, a progress bar, a name for the application's executable, and a title for the application's titlebar.

To create a module suite project:

1. Choose File > New Project (Ctrl-Shift-N).
2. From the NetBeans Plug-in Module category, select Module Suite Project.
3. In the Name and Location panel, specify the following:
   - Project Name. Specifies the display name of the project. This name is also used to create the project folder and the context path.
   - Project Location. Specifies the location where you want to store the project metadata and source code.
   - Project Folder. Specifies the folder where you want to store the project metadata and source code. The folder is a concatenation of the project location and the project name.
   - NetBeans Platform. Specifies the platform against which the module will be compiled and deployed. To add additional platforms to the list, click Manage and use the NetBeans Platform Manager.
   - Set as Main Project. Sets the newly created project as the main project.
4. Click Finish.
