      • Select an Application type
      • Select an installed JDK
      • Provide a name for the project
      • Provide a base package
      • Pick the GDK services and features to be included in the project
      • Select a build tool: Maven or Gradle
      • Select a unit test framework: JUnit, Spock, or Kotest
      • Select cloud providers to support: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform. Note: you need to select OCI if you want OCI DevOps support.
    3. Finally, you are asked where to save your new project. You can then choose to open it in a new VS Code window or add it to a workspace in the current VS Code window.

    You now have a new GDK application, complete with example code showing you how to start using GDK.
