# Creating project.xml With TopLink Workbench

Previous

Next

Because you must synchronize the `project.xml` file with the classes and data source associated with your application, Oracle recommends that you not modify this file manually. TopLink Workbench ensures proper synchronization, and is the best way to make changes to the project. Simply modify the project in TopLink Workbench and redeploy the `project.xml` file. Using this option reduces development time by eliminating the need to regenerate and recompile Java code each time the project changes.

See "Exporting Project Information" for detailed information on exporting the deployment XML information.

Note: You can name this file with a name other than `project.xml`; however, for clarity, this discussion assumes that the file has not been renamed.
