Task 1: Create a new project
Eclipse organizes files by projects. You can create one project to organize all your reports or create multiple projects to organize your reports by categories. For each project that you create, Eclipse creates a directory in your file system.
If you are using BIRT RCP Report Designer, this task does not apply to you.
