Configuring Deployment Package Building

Generating a deployment package from a Deployment Package Project file can be done in several ways - by using the internal generator of the Deployment Package Editor (launched on calling the Quick Build context menu command or the File > Export > Deployment Package Development > Deployment Package menu command), or by running an Ant buildfile exported from the editor (File > Export > Deployment Package Development > Ant Build Script).

Use the Build tab shown for a Deployment Package Project file by the Deployment Package Editor to specify the default output from deployment package builds for both the internal generator and the Ant buildfile exporter.

To configure the build settings for a deployment package:

  1. In the navigation view (e.g. Package Explorer), locate and open the Deployment Package Project (.dpp) file for the target deployment package by using the Deployment Package Editor.
  2. Go to the Build tab of the Deployment Package Editor.
  3. Modify the output settings by using the Browse (...) button next to the corresponding setting:

  4. Save the Deployment Package Project file in order to keep the changes on build settings.

The build settings will be used in subsequent generation of the deployment package or of an Ant buildfile for this package generation.
