# Exercise 1: Copying the Project Source Files

In this exercise you will create a new directory and copy the project files from the `examples` directory. Copying the completed project files frees you from actually coding each bean component.

Complete the appropriate steps below for the system you are using.

### On Microsoft Windows 95 and NT systems:

1. Open a Windows Explorer window.
2. Change your working directory to the `\`your-home-dir`\jws` directory.
   This is where you keep your portfolios and projects in Java WorkShop.
3. In the Windows Explorer window, make a new folder called `Clock`, by choosing File -> New -> Folder and typing the `Clock` folder name.
4. Copy the `*.java`, `*.gif`, and `*.au` files from the
   `\`your-home-dir`\Java-WorkShop20\JWS\examples\ClockBeans` directory, into the
   `\`your-home-dir`\jws\Clock` directory.
5. Change the permissions so that you can write to the files that you copied.

### On Solaris systems:

1. Open a command tool.
2. Change your working directory to the `/`your-home-dir`/jws` directory.
   This is where you keep your portfolios and projects in Java WorkShop.
3. Make a new directory called `Clock` and change to that directory by typing:
   `mkdir Clock`
   `cd Clock`
4. Copy the `*.java`, `*.gif`, and `*.au` files from the
   `/`your-home-dir`/Java-WorkShop20/JWS/examples/ClockBeans` directory, into the
   `/`your-home-dir`/jws/Clock` directory.
5. Change the permissions so that you can write to the files that you copied.
