Transformation and generation files must be contained in an MDWorkbench project. The Tutorials section of the Welcome page offers an easy way to prepare a tutorial project, with sample models.

To create the tutorial project:

  1. Click Help > Welcome.
  2. Click Tutorials.
  3. Click Install a tutorial project in the MDWorkbench section.
  4. Type a tutorial project name (e.g. com.sodius.mdw.samples.tutorial) in the Project name field.
