Setting up the CHA Editor

The CHA Editor provides a wizard to create the default editor configuration file and the three definition XML files used by the CHA component. Use the wizard to customize the CHA Editor for each project.

To set up the CHA Editor for a project, do the following:

  1. Create a simple project to contain the CHA Editor files.
  2. From the File menu, select File > New > Other.
  3. In the dialog box, select IBM Branch Transformation Toolkit in the left panel.
  4. In the right panel, select CHA Editor file.
  5. Click Next. This starts the CHA Editor Configuration Wizard.
  6. Select the simple project. This will be the project file for the application you are creating.
  7. In the file name field, type the name of the editor's configuration file. The file must have the .chae extension.
  8. Click Finish.

The wizard then creates the configuration file and the dsefmts.xml file in the project folder. It then launches the Format Editor.
