To create a BLU AGE® generation project you choose "File->New->Other" (see Figure 1). (Newest version (3.4.2) of BLU AGE has BLU AGE PROJECT instead of Java Project so goes directly to figure 62)

• SGBD type,
• The driver to use for connection to the database: keep it by default,
• The connection string to the database, remember to define the database name (as highlighted in the figure below),
• The dialect of the SGBD : keep it by default,
• The user name and password for the database,
• The compatibility level of Java (JDBC): keep level 3

Click on Next to continue.

The project is now created on the BLU AGE® BUILD environment. It’s composed of the following elements (see Figure 8):

• A "mockup" folder containing all the screens of the parameterized mock-up,
• A “model” folder containing the UML model under EMF format, (This is where the model exported by MagicDraw is placed).
• A “resources” folder containing BLU AGE® specific technical elements,
• A “specific” folder that can contain possible specific libraries,
• A "bluage.workflow" file containing all the generation parameters.
