Before you can deploy applications into a container, you need to provide Fuse IDE with information about the containers in your environment. The Deploy Folders preference panel allows you to configure one or more containers into which Fuse IDE can deploy applications. You simply provide a name for the container and the full path to the container's deployment folder.
