Creating Module Directory Structure
At this point there should be a pom.xml file under each folder listed in Table 5. Each application
module folder is also a source code project, so a few more subdirectories must be created in order
to properly generate the Java Eclipse projects. For each application module create the directory
structure as displayed in Figure 39.

The application development workspace is now completed.
Application Generator (Automatic Workspace
Creation)
The HP VAN SDN Controller SDK also contains a utility to generate a skeletal application project
structure as a starting template for your custom projects - automatizing all previous steps to create
the application workspace. The generated application builds and installs into the HP VAN SDN
Controller without any modifications.
The tool allows you to tailor your template application using the parameters listed in Table 6.
