| <h1>Team and role creation wizards</h1> |
| <h2>Team wizard</h2> |
| <p> |

| </p> |
| <h3>Opening the team wizard</h3> |
| The easiest way to create a new team class is to use the team wizard. |
| First select the container where you want the new team class to reside. |
| Then the wizard can be opened either by selecting <b>File > New > Team</b> from the main |
| workbench window or by selecting <b>New > Team</b> from the container's pop-up menu or |
| by choosing <b>Team</b> from the drop-down menu on the <b>New</b> button in the |
| workbench toolbar. |
| <h3>Define settings / enter information</h3> |
| Most settings for a new team correspond exactly to those specified for a regular |
| <a href="/help/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/ref-126.htm">Java class</a>. |
| <h4>Edit using the Binding Editor</h4> |
| If a super-team has been selected and if the team should be constructed as a <i>connector</i> |
| the binding editor can be launched for adding class and method bindings. |
| <h3>Resulting effects</h3> |
| By clicking the <b>Finish</b> button the team is created with the chosen properties. |
| The tree view of the package explorer and the outline is updated and the new team is |
| displayed.<br><br> |
| <h2>Role wizard</h2> |
| <p> |

| alt="Wizard for creating a new role class"> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Opening the role wizard</h3> |
| The easiest way to create a new role class is to use the role wizard. |
| First select the container where you want the new role class to reside. |
| Then the wizard can be opened either by selecting <b>File > New > Role</b> from the main |
| workbench window or by selecting <b>New > Role</b> from the container's pop-up menu or |
| by choosing <b>Role</b> from the drop-down menu on the <b>New</b> button in the |
| workbench toolbar. |
| <h3>Define settings / enter information</h3> |
| <h4>Source folder and enclosing team</h4> |
| The fields of the source folder and the enclosing team incorporate the same semantics |
| as in the team creation wizard. Entries can be modified/changed by clicking the |
| respective <b>Browse...</b> button and choosing a folder and team class in the selection |
| dialog respectively. The fully qualified name of the enclosing team is displayed unless |
| it stands in the default package. A role is inlined by default, i.e. a role is defined |
| inside the specified enclosing team. If an external role should be created the checkbox |
| "inlined" has to be deselected.<br> |
| <h4>Role name</h4> |
| A valid name for the new role class must be entered. The type name is mandatory.<br> |
| <h4>Modifiers</h4> |
| Possible visibility modifiers for role types are <code>public</code> and |
| <code>protected</code>. Roles can also be either <code>abstract</code> or |
| <code>final</code>.<br> |
| <h4>Implicit superclass</h4> |
| The implicit superclass field is set automatically if the entered type name matches a |
| role type which already exists in a team class which is present in the supertype |
| hierarchy of the enclosing team. The fully qualified name of the implicit superclass is |
| then shown.<br> |
| <h4>Explicit superclass</h4> |
| Initially the explicit superclass is set to "java.lang.Object". It can be changed by |
| clicking the <b>Browse...</b> button and selecting a class from the selection dialog. |
| A role can explicitly inherit from another role class of the same team or from any other |
| regular class other than team classes.<br> |
| <h4>Bound base class</h4> |
| A bound base class can be defined by clicking the <b>Browse...</b> button and selecting |
| a class from the selection dialog. A bound base class can be any class.<br> |
| <h4>Interfaces</h4> |
| Interfaces which the role should implement can be added/removed with the <b>Add.../ |
| Remove</b> buttons. |
| <h4>Method stubs</h4> |
| Method stubs for inherited abstract methods can be created by selecting the according |
| checkbox. The checkbox is selected by default. |
| <h3>Resulting effects</h3> |
| By clicking the <b>Finish</b> button the role with the chosen properties is created |
| inside the enclosing team, or, in the case of an external role, in a package which has |
| the name of the enclosing team. The tree view of the package explorer and the outline |
| is updated and the new role is displayed. |
