Format for G.Alpha

Please conform to the following format when completing your G.alpha.

Component Implementation

You will need to write at least a skeleton Java class to be the Primary class for your component. If you have other classes already written, you may choose to include them or not (it is up to you). Follow the examples that I have provided in the Development and Framework projects.

Component URL

To make your component available to the rest of the class, you should provide a globally accessible URL where you will place the files. In particular, this URL must point to a directory. Within that directory you will place the three files that are generated by the Packager.

Component Definition File (CD)

Write the Component Definition File (CD) and conform to the style and standard I have already shown you in the Development and Framework projects. Be sure to write a ComponentURL tag that matches the above one.

Packaged Component

One you have hand-written the CD file, run FoundationSWT (as you did in the tutorial) and launch the packager. Choose to "Create the installation Jar File" and you will generate three files (an HTM, CD, and JAR file). Copy these three files into the directory noted above by your Component URL file.
