| <h2>Java Build Path page</h2> |
| |
| <p>You can skip this page by pressing <span class="control">Finish</span> on the first page. Otherwise press <span class="control">Next</span> to configure the Java build path. |
| </p> |
| The Java build path consist of source, library and project entries. The user interface is the same as for the <a href="../reference/ref-properties-build-path.htm">Build Path</a> property page, except for |
| the source tab: |
| |
| <h2>Source tab</h2> |
| |
| <p>Source folders are top-level folders in the project hierarchy. They are the root of packages containing .java files. |
| The compiler will translate the contained files to .class files that will be written to the output folder.</p> |
| <p>Source folders allow to structure the project, for example to separate |
| test from the application in two source folders. Within a source folder, a more detailed structuring can be achieved by using packages.</p> |
| <p>Each source folder can define an exclusion filter to specify which |
| resources inside the folder should not be visible to the compiler.</p> |
| <p>Resources existing in source folders are copied to the output folder unless the setting in the <a href="preferences/java/compiler/ref-preferences-building.htm">Java > Compiler > Building</a> preference |
| page specifies that the resource is filtered. The output folder is defined per project except if a source folder specifies its own output folder.</p> |
| |
| <p>The tree shows the project as it will look like when switching to the package explorer. Several operations can be executed |
| on this tree to change the structure of the project.</p> |
