To create a common workspace, choose File | New | Application and then ADF Fusion Web Application and perform the following steps:

In step 1 of the wizard, name your workspace with your application's abbreviation as the prefix and set the Application Package Prefix field to your project's base package.

In step 2 of the wizard, name...
