Java Project Templates
For most Java project categories, there are two types of project templates:
- Standard templates.
Templates in which the IDE controls all source and classpath settings, compilation,
running, and debugging.
Standard project templates can contain one or more source folders and
optionally one or more JUnit test folders. Standard project templates have a
(
)
icon for Java SE projects, a (
)
icon for web application projects, a (
)
icon for EJB module projects, and a (
)
icon for enterprise application projects.
- Free-form templates.
Templates in which your own Ant script controls all classpath settings,
compilation, running, and debugging. The settings you configure when creating
the project are used to tell the IDE how your Ant script manages your source
code and must match the settings in your Ant script.
Free-form projects can contain as many source folders as your Ant script
is configured to handle. If your Ant script does not contain targets for
all IDE actions, like debugging and running your project, you can easily
write Ant targets for these actions. Free-form projects have a
(
)
icon in the New Project wizard.
