They are typically used to further compile the KiCo and wrapper code output and afterwards deploy the result to the target platform. The commands are executed sequentially in order as they appear in the list, after the KiCo compilation and wrapper code generation finished successfully. If a command fails (returns a non-zero exit code), following commands will not be excuted. The name of commands have to be unique and must not contain a comma.

96		-A main file typically contains the entry point of the program on the target environment. Its wrapper code initializes and runs the model and sets inputs and outputs to the physical components of the target device. To ease the project setup and because wrapper code for a specific target platform is often similar, it is possible to define default content for the main file. Therefore the field **main file origin** can contain an absolute file path to a file with the default contents of a newly created main file for this environment. Furthermore, predefined wrapper code snippets can be injected as part of a project launch, which is described below.

114		-Prom provides project wizards, which can **create and initialize a project** with a **model file**, a **main file** and wrapper code **snippets**. The wizards for different model file types (e.g. SCChart project vs Esterel project) differ only in the initial content for the model file. Other initial content is choosen from the environment, which is selected on the first page of a Prom wizard. The project creation itself is done by another wizard, that is started from within the Prom wizard.

116		-If the //snippets directory// of an environment is a project relative path, the contents from the //snippets origin// will be copied to this location in the newly created project. If it is an absolute path, it is not copied to the project. Keeping snippets in a single, project indepentent folder, makes it easier to maintain them. For example it is possible to set an absolute path to a directory outside any project as directory for wrapper code snippets. This directory can then be easily maintained using a version control system. Furthermore, if an issue occurs, it has to be addressed only once, because the snippets are not copied to every new project.
	113	+For example to create a project to develop Minstorms running leJOS, one can choose the SCCharts project wizard. In this wizard, one can choose the Mindstorms NXJ environment and define what will be initialized in the project (model file, initial resources). Now, when pressing the finish button, the related project wizard from the leJOS plugin will be started. When it finishes, the newly created project is initialized with a model file and the defined resources.
