Projects

A project is a collection of Groups and/or files. These files may be either Class Editor files (.vj) or Resource Bundle files (.vrb). A Group may contain Class Editor and Resource Bundle files also.
When projects are saved, they are given a .vpj extension.

Adding, Removing and Renaming Groups

The central area of the Visaj project window shows a tree of filenames. The filenames can be grouped together in any way which suits your way of working. This is purely for your convenience and has no impact on the way Visaj's tools work.

To add a group, select "Add Group" from the Project menu. The group is added with the default name "Group".

To change the group name, either select "Edit" from the Edit menu or double-click over the group name in the tree area. A dialog appears prompting you for the new name. Press "Ok" when you have entered the new name.

To remove a group from your project, select "Remove file" from the Project menu.

Adding and Removing files

Add files to your project by selecting "Add file" from the Project menu. You will be prompted for the filename, and the filename is added to the currently selected group. Remove a file by selecting it and choosing "Remove file" from the Project menu. This only removes the filename from your project, the file itself is not removed from its place on your disk.

Editing Files

Double-clicking over a filename in the tree area (or selecting a filename and then choosing "Edit" from the Edit menu) displays the editor appropriate for the selected file.

Importing files

The Import menu allows non-Visaj type files to be converted to Visaj type files, via a conversion module. No conversion modules are included with Visaj.
