The Rule Project you just created is now listed in the Project Explorer window in Corticon Studio.
The Project Explorer window provides
a convenient way of navigating between your Corticon Studio files, including Vocabularies, Rulesheets, Ruleflows, and
Ruletests. Double-clicking on a highlighted file in the list shown in the Project Explorer window below will cause the file to open
and become the active window in Corticon Studio.
Our new Example_Project, shown below, is empty, so
there are no files available to open yet.
Project Menu
The Project menu has standard Workbench
functions, as well as the following:
Validate Project - Generates error markers on files
in the current project that have validation errors. If there are errors, review the
offending asset to correct the cause of the error, and the revalidate. The project
validation process has an impact on available memory, and uses background CPU cycles.
When validating large projects, follow the build progress in the Progress view (exposed from the menu item Window > Show

Upgrade Rule Assets - It is important that
you keep project assets in synch with the Studio. If you brought assets into your
workspace, you should perform this action. Opens the Upgrade
Corticon Assets dialog. For

Properties - Opens the dialog that provides
several advanced features, one of which enables Corticon Extensions to add service
call-out JAR files that will be packaged with Decision Services created in the
project. See how to Import the Corticon APIs into the Java

These commands are also accessible on the dropdown menu that opens when
you right-click on a project, as shown in this excerpted image where the intent is to
package and deploy selected Ruleflows that are in the Life
