To build an application:
- Select
the file or folder in the Filesystems window or open the file in the
Source Editor.
- From the
main window, choose one of the following:
- Build
> Compile (F9) to compile selected file or directory only.
Only files that are out-of-date are compiled.
- Build
> Compile All (Shift-F9) to compile the selected directory
and its subfolders.
- Build
> Build (F11) to delete all .class files in the selected
file or directory and compile the source files. This command does
not remove .class files or compile source files in subfolders.
- Build
> Build All (Shift-F11) to delete all .class files within
a folder and its subfolders and then compile all files again.
The IDE displays
the compiler output in the Output window at the bottom of the screen.
You can double-click any compilation error to highlight the code causing
the error in the Source Editor.
