How to create an aglet

Push the "Create" button or select the "Create..." item in the "Aglet" menu on Tahiti. The following panel for creating aglets will appear.

Fill in the class name

Fill in the "Aglet name" field with the class name of the aglet, such as "ibm.aglets.samples.Writer". (Please note that an aglet name is case-sensitive.)

Fill in the URL

Case 1: Creating a local aglet

If you want to create an aglet from your local class, you do not have to specify a source URL. Please leave the "Source URL" field blank.

Case 2: Creating a remote aglet

Otherwise, you should specify the codebase as a URL for the remote class in the "Source URL" field.

After setting the aglet name, push the "Create" button on the panel, and you will find that a new list item appears in Tahiti.

Registering an aglet in the Aglet List

The "Add to List" button is used to register the class name in the "Aglet List" in this panel.

The "Delete" button is used to remove an aglet item from the Hotlist.

You can recall the aglet's name and its codebase by simply clicking the list item.
