    Chapter 7. Starting

    The first thing you will be prompted to define after the CloverDX Designer launches, is the workspace folder. Workspace is a place your projects will be stored at; usually a folder in the user's home directory (e.g., C:\Users\your_name\workspace or /home/your_name/CloverDX/workspace )

    Note that the workspace can be located anywhere. Make sure you have proper permissions to the location. If a non-existing folder is specified, it will be created.

    When the workspace is set, the welcome screen is displayed.

    [Note]Eclipse secure storage

    Eclipse secure storage stores passwords used in Eclipse. If you have a clean installation of Eclipse, the first time you enter a password, you will be prompted to specify a master password for Eclipse secure storage. You can specify secure storage options in Window → Preferences → General → Security → Secure Storage.

    For more information about secure storage, see Eclipse User Guide.
