Displaying the UI

To display the Composer user interface after installation:

1. Click the Eclipse shortcut on your desktop or run eclipse.exe . The Eclipse splash screen displays (no Genesys-specific information is shown). A workspace dialog box opens to allow you to select the location for your project files.
2. Accept the default entry, or click Browse to navigate to a location that will serve as your workspace folder. Note: Your workspace folders must be outside of the Program Files folder. When prompted for a workspace folder, do not specify parenthesis '(' or ')' in the workspace path. In Windows, this is C:\Users\<username>. On Mac, this is /Users/<username>.
3. If you want your selected workspace to be your default and do not want to select a location the next time that Composer opens, select the Use this as the default and do not ask again check box.
4. Click OK to proceed. The first time you run Eclipse, a Welcome' tab appears.
5. If you choose not to explore the Eclipse or Composer tutorial links at this time, click the X on the Welcome tab to display the GUI. You can always access the Welcome screen at any time from within Composer by selecting Help > Welcome .
6. If not already open, open Composer perspective by selecting Window > Open Perspective > Other , then select Composer or Composer Design.

At this point, you may find it helpful to load a Project template so you can see a finished application. Follow the procedure in the next section if you wish to do this. See Viewing a Sample Application.

Launching on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, 32-bit operating systems

The procedure below also applies to 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate in 32-bit compatibility mode.

1. Run / launch Eclipse as Administrator.
2. DO NOT keep your workspace under the Program Files location as prompted by Composer. Instead specify your workspace location outside of the Program Files location e.g.,
   C:\My Composer 8.1.4 Applications or
   C:\Users\<your user>\MyWorkspaceFolder
