| Creating a Java project with source folders |
| </h1> |
| For larger projects, create a project with source folders. |
| <blockquote> |
| <em>Note: When using source folders, non-Java resources are copied to the output folder by the Java builder. |
| If you have non-Java resources (documentation, for example) that should not be copied into the output folder, |
| you can create an ordinary folder and store the resources there. You can also use the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.preferences.JavaBuildPreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <strong>Java > Compiler > Building</strong></a> preference page |
| to specify a list of resources that will not be automatically copied to the output folder.</em> |
| </blockquote> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Open the <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.newWizard(newWizardId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.wizards.JavaProjectWizard)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png"> |
| <strong>New Java Project</strong></a> wizard. (From the main workbench window, click <strong>File</strong> > <strong>New</strong> > <strong>Project...</strong>. |
| Select <strong>Java Project</strong>, then click <strong>Next</strong>.) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>Project name</strong> field, type a name for your new Java project. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select a location for the project and configure the JDK Compliance. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In the <strong>Project layout</strong> section, make sure |
| <strong>Create separate source and output folders</strong> is selected. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>Next</strong>. The Java Settings Page opens. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the <strong>Source</strong> tab, check that the project contains a source folder. You can create additional source folders at any time |
| later. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Optionally, replace the default name in the <strong><strong>Default output folder</strong></strong> field to use a different name for the output folder. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the <strong>Projects</strong> tab, select the required projects to be on the build path for this project. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the <strong>Libraries</strong> tab, select JAR files and CLASS file containers to add to the build path for this new project and attach source to the JAR files. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the <strong>Order and Export</strong> tab, use the <strong>Up</strong> and <strong>Down</strong> buttons to move the |
| selected JAR file or CLASS file container up or down in the build path order for this new project. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>Finish</strong> when you are done. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <blockquote> |
| <em>Note: When you are using CVS as your repository, it is recommended that you create a .cvsignore file inside the project. In this file, add a line with the name of the |
| output folder ("bin" for example). Adding the output folder in the .cvsignore file ensures that the CVS versioning support ignores the output folder in versioning |
| operations.</em> |
