how to create an empty project?

[chrvi]

Hi there,

I've always worked through Java API with an existing .eap file but how can I create new such a file (containing let's say one class view model)?

I bet I've seen it discussed somewhere but...

All your hints are welcome.

File/New ?

If you are talkig about DB repository: chose the above to create an empty EAP. The create a new DB as usual and transfer the empty EAP into that.

Or actually create an empty template project, stored someplace predictable. Through your API copy the template to your target location and name. Then open it as usual.

Well, actually I'd like to create a brand new .eap via automation interface without any prepared existing .eap files somewhere.
I do not want to be dependent on some storage with an empty .eap file.
It'd be fine for me to create it on the fly...

Then why not use the good old COPY? Create an empty EAP manually, then copy it...

Even EA can't do this.  It relies on EABase.eap being in the same directory as the executable.

chrvi, when EA creates a new project, it copies the EABase.eap file from the install directory of EA.

I see... OK.

Thanks, guys.
