DocumentumCoreProject in Composer

I downloaded Composer 6.5 SP2 and TCMReferenceProject SP2. DocumentumCoreProject is a required project for TCMReference project. I don't see any place to download the core project. Anyone know where to get the DocumentumCoreProject for Composer?

When you create any type of Documentum project in composer for the first time in an empty workspace - the core project is unpacked from the install and added as a reference. The project navigator doesn't list DocumentumCoreProject in the Documentum perspecitive but it is in the workspace file system. Switch to the Java perspective and you will see it.

If I create a new workspace to do something like create a TaskSpace DAR, I always start by creating a dummy empty project so that the core will be added to the workspace. You can copy or import it as well. I then import the TaskSpace reference project.

Always turn off "Build Automatically" on the project menu and only do Clean builds on the project you are working - do not attempt to build either the Core or the Reference project.

The Core Project gets created automatically and behind the scene.

Well if it does, it is not very clear. If you install Composer 6.5 Sp2 for the first time, and try to build TCM Reference project, it looks for DocumentumCoreProject and it does not find it. To be able to referece the project in Eclipse, you have to import the DocumentumCoreProject to workspace. So, my question is, what is the defaul directory that DocumentumCoreProject gets created when you first install Composer?

You should not build the TCMReferenceProject. It is only there so you can import it into the Workspace and designate it as a Reference Project for your projects.

If you need to install it, you should download the TCMReferenceProject.DAR directly and install it using DAR Installer.

I see what you mentioned here is part of the compser user guide ( not building the TCMReferenceProject). But as a programmer we have a tendency to see a project always builds correctly in workspace ( if possible) and it does build it correctly as long as you use DocumentumCoreProject as a reference project. But I can get used to as long as that is the recommendantion. Thanks for your response.
