General Tab

The General tab contains information about the project, including name, type, and source directory. If you change a field in this tab, click the Apply button to enter the changes before moving to another tab.

Project Name
The name of the project. This field is read-only.

Source Directory
The directory that contains the source (.java) files for the project. This directory is also the directory where the project file (.prj) is stored. The Source Directory field is read-only.

Type
The type of the project: applet, standalone program, package, image, or remote applet.

Included Projects
List of projects that are included (nested) as elements in the project. Projects are built in the order they are listed. Click the Add button to open the Add Included Project dialog box, in which you can enter the names of projects you wish to include. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order in which the nested projects are built.

Included projects are useful if you have a standalone program that imports packages you wrote. Each package is in its own project, and the standalone program is in its own project. To ensure the imported packages are up-to-date, include the projects in the standalone project.
