Freezing the Project

All your working environments are now up-to-date, your source files are compilable, and you have a stable version of your byte-code. In this chapter, you will learn how to create a "virtual snapshot" of the project (or, to be exact, of its source files). You do this in SNiFF+ by associating the current state (configuration) of all project source files with a single symbolic name. The process of creating a single configuration and associating it with a symbolic name is called "freezing a configuration".
You can freeze configurations in the Configuration Manager. You can also use this tool to view the lists of configurations of your projects and compare two configurations with each other. To learn more about the Configuration Manager, please refer to the User's Guide and the Reference Guide.
