Project Menu

The Project Menu includes commands to create and operate on projects in the Java WorkShop. The Project => Choose, Edit, Remove, Run, and Copy submenus list all projects in the current portfolio.

Create
The Create submenu lists all project types supported in the Java WorkShop: applet, standalone program, Java package, image, and remote applet. When you choose a project type, the WorkShop opens a tab in which you can create that project.

Import
Opens a dialog box in which you can import a project that either you or someone else created. You can import a project by reference, or you can copy it into a directory.

Choose
Makes the selected project the current project, and its name appears in the WorkShop tool bar. The current project sets the context for all tools in the Java WorkShop.

Edit
Opens the Project Manager in which you can view and edit the attributes of the selected project.

Remove
Removes the selected project name from the Project => Choose, Edit, Remove, Run, and Copy submenus. The WorkShop does not delete the .prj file from the project directory.

Run
Runs the selected project using the attributes you specify in the Run tab in the Project Manager.

Copy
Copies the selected project to the clipboard so you can paste it into the another portfolio or into the Source Editor.

Paste
Opens a dialog box in which you can paste a project from the clipboard into either a portfolio or into the Source Editor. You can paste a project by reference, or you can copy it into a directory.
