Editing Project Attributes
Projects have a set of attributes that define their individual characteristics, such as the options to use when building the project. You supply values for some attributes when you create the project; Java WorkShop supplies default value for all other attributes. You can view and edit attributes using the Edit Project window.
To edit project attributes:
- Click the Project
button on the JDE main toolbar
- In the project manager, select the project name for
which you want to view or edit attributes.
- Choose Project -> Edit.
The Edit Project window contains four tabs:
- General. Information about the project, including name, type, and source directory
- Build. Information required to compile the project
- Debug/Browse. Information required to debug and browse the project source files
- Run. Information required to execute the project -- the attributes you see depend on whether you are editing an applet or a standalone program
If you change an input field in a tab, click the Apply button to enter the changes before moving to another tab.
If an input field does not apply to the type of project you are editing, it is dimmed.
