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,

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 The compiler determines if .class files are outdated and need to be recompiled.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.
