Create a Liberty feature project

To develop a Liberty feature using the WebSphere Application Server developer tools, we must create a Liberty feature project in the workspace.

A Liberty feature project contains classes and services that implement the function provided by the Liberty feature

To create a Liberty feature project:

1. Click File > New > Other > OSGi > Liberty Feature Project and then click Next. The New Liberty Feature Project wizard opens.

2. In the Project name field, enter the name of the Liberty feature project.

3. Select a Target runtime from the drop down list. The list will include the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile 8.5.5 if it is defined in the workspace as an installed runtime environment.

4. Click Next. The OSGi Bundles Selection dialog box opens.

5. Select one or more OSGi bundles to add to the Liberty feature project, or click New Bundle to create an OSGi bundle to add to the Liberty feature project. We can add further bundles after we have created the Liberty feature project; see Add OSGi bundles to a Liberty feature project.

   For information on creating an OSGi bundle, see Create OSGi bundle projects.

6. Click Finish to create the Liberty feature project.
