Step 2 : Name and Location

After the selection of the project type, next step involves defining the type of Project Folder for your new Developer Studio project. You have the option to create it in either a Fresh folder or an Existing folder.

By default, the selection is set to Fresh, requiring an empty location for the creation of the new project folder. Alternatively, if you opt for an existing project folder, you must specify a directory containing a workspace folder.
