Exercise 3: Viewing the imported asset files

This exercise explores the imported asset files.

Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 2: Importing the RAS asset

Viewing the asset files in the Navigator view

Verify the success of your asset import.
  1. Check the Navigator view to verify that the project artifact in the asset was imported into the workspace. If the Navigator view is not displayed, click Window > Show View > Other. In the Show View window, expand Basic, click Navigator and then click OK.
  2. Expand the SimpleHelloWorld project root node and review the project and its artifacts to ensure they successfully imported into the specified location.

Viewing the manifest file in the manifest editor

The RAS asset manifest file lets you review the documentation that the RAS asset producer has provided to describe the asset. In addition, you can see the details of the contents of the RAS asset.
  1. To view the manifest file, in the Navigator view, expand the project containing the manifest and double-click manifest.rmd. The manifest file opens in the multi tab editor, displaying the asset information provided.
  2. Click the tabs to display the different sections of the manifest file. IMPORTANT: Always use caution when editing a manifest file. Deletions of required information can make the asset incompatible for use.
