| <h1>Java projects</h1> |
| |
| <p>A Java project contains source code and related files for building a Java |
| program. It has an associated Java builder that can incrementally compile Java source files as they are changed.</p> |
| |
| <p>A Java project also maintains a model of its contents. This model |
| includes information about the type hierarchy, references and declarations of Java elements. |
| This information is constantly updated as the user changes |
| the Java source code. The updating of the internal Java project model is independent of the |
| Java builder; in particular, when performing code modifications, if autobuild is turned |
| off, the model will still reflect the present project contents.</p> |
| |
| <p>You can organize Java projects in two different ways:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><span>Using the project as the source container. This is the recommended organization for simple projects.</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>Using source folders inside the project as the source container. This is the recommended organization for more complex projects. It allows you to subdivide packages into |
| groups.</span></li> |
| </ul> |
