Building a webAF Project

Before you can execute a webAF project, you must first build the project. Building a project enables webAF to generate needed files. Depending on the project type, building could include

• generating Java code
• compiling source files into CLASS files (including inner classes, interfaces, and proxies)
• creating the HTML or XML files that are used with applets and JSPs.

There are three different ways to build a project:

• Select Build Build Project.
• Click the Build icon () on the Build toolbar.
• Press F7.

When you build a project, webAF builds only what needs to be built. If a Java source file is more recent than its associated CLASS file, then that source file is rebuilt. Otherwise, the project continues to use the built class.

You can force webAF to build (or rebuild) all parts of the project by selecting Build Rebuild All or by clicking the Rebuild All icon () on the toolbar.

Project builds are performed by creating and using the Ant Tool. For more information, see the webAF online Help.
