The Project menu allows you to carry out different functions on your projects, including open, close, build and encode.
For more information on the build process, see the topic in the Workbench User Guide.
The options available from the Project menu are:
Name | Shortcut | Description |
---|---|---|
Open Project | Opens the currently selected project (if closed) | |
Close Project | Closes the currently selected project. Closing a project does not cause it to be deleted from the file system. A closed project will still be displayed in Project Explorer view, with a closed project icon, but its resources are no longer accessible from within the Workbench. Closing projects takes up less memory and speeds up the build process. | |
Build All | Ctrl+B | This command manually invokes an incremental build on all projects in the Workbench. This is only available if automatic build is not selected (see below). |
Build Project | This command manually invokes an incremental build on any resources in the currently selected project that have been affected since the last build. This is only available if automatic build is not selected (see below). | |
Build Working Set | This command manually invokes an incremental build on any resources in a working set that have been affected since the last build. This is only available if automatic build is not selected (see below). | |
Clean... | Invokes a clean build. This will discard all previous build results. | |
Build Automatically | Performs an incremental build whenever resources are saved. Selecting this option will disable all other manual build options. | |
Convert to a Dynamic Web project... | Converts the Web project from a static project to a dynamic project. | |
Properties | Opens the project's properties dialog which allows you to view and configure various settings for the project, including project info, Builders, Formatter , PHP Debug , PHP Include Path, PHP Interpreter , PHP Task Tags , Profile Compliance and Validation, Project References, Refactoring History, Run/Debug Settings, Server, Task Tags and Validation. |
