Creating a New Project
An Intel® DAL project is a collection of files which make up a trusted application and its corresponding host application. The easiest way to create a new project is to use the Intel DAL plugin for Eclipse*. The plugin creates the necessary files for the development of both a trusted application as well as a host application. When creating a new project, you can select to automatically create a new template host application, in C# or C++, along with the trusted application. The new project wizard also creates the necessary accompanying Intel® DAL Host Interface Service (Intel® DAL HIS) file for the host application.
A project includes:
- A new project marked with the Intel DAL icon
- A package within the project
- Referenced Libraries: The dal.jar which contains the necessary classes for an Intel DAL trusted application, as well as the Javadoc* documentation for these classes.Note: Projects created on older platforms may contain isdi.jar instead of dal.jar.
- src/: Directory for the project's source files. It includes a main .java file containing the entry point for the application
- A default manifest file, used later when creating the downloadable package. The default values can be changed in the editor.
Using Eclipse* to Create a Trusted Application
To create an Intel DAL trusted application via Eclipse:
- Open Eclipse and select a workspace.
- Select File->New->DAL Applet Project. If you do not have this menu, the Intel DAL Eclipse plugin is not installed.
- In the Create a new DAL trusted application window, enter the parameters for the new project and click Next.
- In the Create a new DAL host application window, if you want to create a host application as well as a trusted application, indicate this by checking the relevant box and choosing either C++ or C# as the programming language.
- In the Run Configuration window, specify what should happen when you press the Run or Debug button in Microsoft Visual Studio*.
- Click Finish to create your trusted application (and the host application, if you chose it as well).
For more details on creating a project, see the following tutorials:

For a sample host application, see the Intel Generic Host Application.
Viewing Intel DAL-Specific Output
Many of the Intel DAL features produce messages that are sent to the Eclipse console. Click the Console icon and select the DAL Output option to see the messages.
