Project/Compiler page
The Project page of the Project Properties dialog box lets you set paths and compiler options. This page is almost identical to the Compiler page of the Environment Options dialog box.
To display this page,
- Choose File|Project Properties, or
- Choose Run|Parameters, then click Project, or
- Choose Tools|IDE Options, then click Compiler.
Note: If you display this page from the Environment Options dialog box (Tools|IDE Options), the options are the default options for the project.
Dialog box options
Source Path
The path the compiler checks to determine if each source file needs to be recompiled to bring the .class files up to date.
Class Path
The location for your .class files. The compiler determines if .class files are outdated and need to be recompiled.
Out Path
The directory in which the .class files are placed. This directory tree matches the arrangement of the source directories. If the output directory does not exist yet, it is automatically created.
Include Debug Info
Includes symbolic debug information in the .class file when you compile, make, or rebuild a node.
Check Stable Packages
Checks to see if stable packages are up-to-date.
Show Warnings
Displays compiler error and warning messages.
Exclude Path
Excludes the selected .class file from a compile.
Encoding
Specifies the encoding that controls how the compiler interprets characters beyond the ASCII character set. If no setting is specified, the default native-encoding converter for the platform is used.
Default
Resets all dialog box options to their default settings.
