3. In the Package Explorer view, expand the HelloWorld project. The project is structured as followed:
   • src : contains the main "sci"-file, which stores the state of the workbench and a sidl file with the SIDL description of the components.
   • components : contains the java or c++ sources of the components in this project
   • includes : contains dependent SIDL files
   • import : a folder where scicode stores the files of imported components

Writing the SIDL description

The next step is to define the Hello World components. The application will consist of three parts:

• a user interface, which will be used to enter the user name
• a kernel, which will merge the user name with the "hello world" string
• a visualization, which will print the whole string on the console.
