Creating your first SDK project
If we have already installed the Eclipse plugin and are able to see the credentials file created correctly, then we are ready to fly on the SDK plane. Here's how:
- Clicking on the AWS toolkit for the Eclipse icon will provide us with the option to create a new AWS project as shown:
- Here we need to select New AWS Java Project.... Clicking on this option will open the following window. Clicking on this option for the first time will bring up a few sample codes from AWS and will ask whether we want these sample codes to be part of the project.
- It is recommended that you check the Amazon DynamoDB Sample checkbox the first time, to understand the syntax of DynamoDB table operations.
- Once done, select the AWS account that is already configured, or configure a new AWS account.
- Click on the Next button to proceed.
- Clicking on the Next button will create a new project with the name specified in the previous window. The project structure is shown in the next screenshot...
