A project is a container that manages, builds, deploys, and executes the items
in an application. The IDE creates a new project when you start building an application. The new project
includes a page, a Java class file, a
style sheet, and references to external JAR files. Each project also has a
project definition file that stores
configuration settings and build settings for the project.
- Viewing projects. From the main menu, choose View > Projects
to see a logical view of the project structure and content or View > Files to
view the physical storage of the project files.
- Building projects. From the main menu, choose Build > Build Main Project. When you build a project, project sources are
compiled into a build output directory under the project root directory.
A
web archive file
(.war extension) is created from the build output.
- Sharing projects. To share a project with other
developers, clean the project first
to reduce its size.
