Compatibility of old and new build configurations

AJDTv1.1.11 (?)

Luzius Meisser, May 2004.

 

 

At the moment, both, old and new Build Configurations are supported:

 

As long as “Use Active Build Configuration” is selected, the project is built using the new Build Configurator. Selecting a .lst file makes the project build as yet.

 

To convert between the different types of build configurations, open the “Java Build Path” property page of your project.

 

Here you see a tree showing the different (new style) build configurations. Besides editing them, you can also import and export them which works as follows.

 

 

Importing a .lst file

 

After hitting the import button a dialog will pop up that lets you choose the .lst file to import. It must be located somewhere inside the project folder.

 

The next dialog asks you to specify the source folder in which the packages are located in.

 

Having done that, you will get a new style build configuration with the same contents as the .lst files:

 

 

Exporting a .lst file

 

Let’s assume we want to export a .lst file for the “No Trace” build configuration shown below.

 

 

A dialog pops up asking for a file name. It will be located in the projects root directory. (If it already exists, it gets overwritten.)

If the .lst file is used regularly, maybe by an external tool, it is a good idea to tick the “remember filename” checkbox. If the “.lst file builder” is activated, the remembered .lst file gets updated on every build.

 

The “.lst file builder” can be enabled and disabled in the “Builders” property page:
