Naming a Source File Location and Indicating Existing Sources
This page explains how to indicate a directory where you want to store your project.
The Project Storage Directory
The project storage directory box lists the directory where Java WorkShop will keep the source files for the new project. You can provide an alternative to the default storage directory.
To store files in a directory other than the default:
- Select the default storage directory name.
- Type the name of the new directory where you want Java WorkShop to store the source files for this project.
If the new directory does not exist, Java WorkShop will create it.
Existing Project Files
If you have existing Java files, you can add these files to the project you are creating:
- To add existing files, click Yes.
- If you do not have existing files, click No.
Depending on your scenario do one of the following:
- If you are creating an applet project without existing source, review the next wizard window.
- If you are creating an applet or standalone project with existing source files, review the next wizard window.
- If you are creating a standalone project without existing sources, click Finish.
Java WorkShop adds the project name to the project manager, and the source editor window displays a project template to which you can add your source code.
