Project Settings


This window holds all of the IDE system settings that can be set for a project. Whenever you change one of these settings, the change only affects work in the current project. If you switch to a different project, the IDE automatically switches to the Project Settings for that project. See What is a "project" in Forte for Java? and Organizing work into projects for more information on projects.

Project Settings include Filesystems settings, internal and external compiler configurations, debugger types, window settings, external browser or applet viewer configuration, and more. The left pane provides a tree view of the Project Settings items, and the right pane displays the property sheet, where you can view and edit the various options for the selected item. As in the Explorer, contextual menu items such as Customize Bean, Copy, and Paste are available for many of the Project Settings nodes.

To open the Project Settings window, choose Project | Settings... from the main menu.

For information on IDE settings that can not be set separately for each project, see Global Options.

Changes made to Project Settings are automatically saved to the current project when you exit the IDE. To save changes without closing the IDE, choose Project | Save Project from the main menu.

Below are descriptions of each item in Project Settings.
