Working with projects Using the Project wizard JBuilder includes a Project wizard that simplifies project creation. When you use the Project wizard to create a new project, the wizard automatically sets up the directory framework for the project and develops and saves information on project properties, such as applicable paths and JDK version. You may also create a project notes file. The information in this file can go into the commentary of the source files the project contains, and from there into any JavaDoc-generated documentation you create from that project. If you use the Application or Applet wizard without any projects open, the Project wizard is launched first so you can create a new project to hold the new application or applet. For more information on the Project wizard, click the Help button in the wizard s dialog box. For more information about the Application or Applet wizards, select File|New, choose the Application or Applet icon from the object gallery, and click Help in the wizard s dialog box. Project wizard: Step 1 Step 1 sets the names of the files associated with the project. It also sets the root path and the project template. To create a new project with the Project wizard, Choose File|New Project to open the Project wizard. This will bring up Step 1 of 3: Automating application development 5-5

Working with projects Working with projects To develop programs in the JBuilder environment, you must first create a project. A project organizes the files and maintains the settings that make a JBuilder application or applet. You can view and manage your project in the project pane. A JBuilder project is an organizational tool. When you put a file into a JBuilder project, it doesn t change that file s location in your directory structure. This means you can use the same file in any number of JBuilder projects without ever moving the file. You can view and manage your directory structure using your favorite file management tool. The information about a JBuilder project is stored in a project file. The project file includes the list of files and packages that are in the project and the project properties that define the project. JBuilder uses this information when you load, save, build, or deploy a project. You don t edit the project file directly; it is modified whenever you use the JBuilder development environment to add or remove files or to set project properties such as paths or connection settings. The project file is shown as a node in the project pane. Listed below it are all the files in the project: Saving projects While you are working on a project, you can save it to the default location or to a directory of your choice. By default, JBuilder saves projects to the jbproject directory of your home directory. Each project is saved to its own directory. Each project directory includes a project file (.jpr or .jpx), an optional file for project notes (.html), a classes directory for class files, a src directory for source files, and a bak directory for backup copies of your files. By default, the project directory (with its children) is saved to jbproject. All paths can be changed in the Project wizard and in the Project|Project Properties dialog. For more information on the location of the jbproject and home directories, see Table 1.2, Platform conventions and directories, on page 1-4. 5-4 Learning Java with JBuilder

Chapter 5 Automating application development JBuilder provides many time-saving wizards for application development. With these wizards you can quickly create or modify files, settings, and preferences. The wizards create the framework of your file or application, allowing you to focus on development. Using wizards The wizards available in JBuilder vary by edition JBuilder has three types of wizards: wizards that create new files, wizards that create elements of an application, and utility wizards. Examples of wizards are: Wizards that create new sets of files. Select File|New to access such wizards as: Project Application Applet JavaBean Wizards that create elements of an application. Select File|New to access such wizards as: Dialog Frame Panel Utility wizards. Some of these are accessible from the object gallery, some from the Wizards menu. Automating application development 5-1
