### Configuring a Container's Deploy Folder

Revision History

#### Overview

Before you can deploy applications into a container's deploy folder, you must provide the developer tools with the location of the container's deploy folder. The Deploy Folders preference panel enables you to configure one or more containers. You provide a name for the container and the full path to the container's deployment folder.

#### Accessing the Deploy Folder preference panel

You can access the deployment folders preference panel two ways:

- selecting Fuse IDE > Preferences > Fuse Plugins for Eclipse from the main menu

  This method opens the general Eclipse preference window. You need to select Deploy Folders from the list of preferences in the panel on the left side of the widow.

- selecting Deploy to... > Deploy Folder Configurations... from the project's context menu

  This method opens the preferences window and ensures that the Deploy Folders panel is selected.
