You will create an Orchestration Project in this tutorial. An "orchestration project" is an Eclipse project with a special nature for including the resources required for composing BPEL processes. These resources include WSDL, schema, deployment files, and other specialized resources like Service References. In addition to folders, an Orchestration Project has builders, which ensure that all orchestration files are valid, helping you to complete error-free orchestrations.

Like all Eclipse projects, an orchestration project is a container to store files, and it resides in your default location, the Workspace folder selected when Process Developer was installed. Orchestration projects are also created in the same Workspace location in the file system.

Your Project Explorer view should look like the following illustration. Notice that Process Developer created folders to contain the resources needed for a BPEL-based orchestration. As you proceed through the tutorial, you will be using each of these folders in the Tutorial project.
