Chapter 5. Building Enterprise Applications

So far, we have kept everything in one workspace for simplicity. If you are the only developer on the project, this approach works well. But in a larger setting with many developers, you need to set up a good structure to ensure that people do not get in each other's way.

Tip

If you are developing ADF on your own as a one-man team, feel free to skip this chapter the first time you read the book (but do come back to it when you start on a larger project).

Whenever you start working on a development project, remember to decide on a project abbreviation of 3 to 5 characters that you can use in Java package names, filenames, and so on. For the DVD rental application used as an example in this book, we will use DRA.
