Scout/Tutorial/3.7/Minicrm/New Eclipse Scout Project
We need to create a new Scout Project and switch to the Scout Perspective. When we're done we can run the server, verify that it is running using a web browser, and we can run the client using either the Swing or the SWT user interface.
The client will not contain anything, but this will demonstrate that our infrastructure is working.

Create a new Eclipse Scout project
If you haven't done so yet, change to the Scout Perspective.
Right-click on the folder Scout Projects and choose New Scout Project in order to create a new Scout project.
Use eclipse.org.minicrm for the project name.
If you expand the project tree it will have nodes for client, shared and server as well as nodes for the two user interfaces, ui.swing and ui.swt.
Start the Server
Click on the server node and start the development server product by clicking on the green arrow.Test the Server
To test if the server is running properly, go to http://localhost:8080/minicrm/process. To log in, use admin as username and manager as password. There you should see a page with information about the server. The login information is defined in the config.ini file of the server product, click on open product and then change to the configuration tab in order to open it.Start the Client
Click on either the ui.swing or the ui.swt node and start the development client product by clicking on the green arrow. When asked for a login, enter the same login information as before, admin/manager (or any other user/password pair from the config.ini). An empty application window should appear.
