 |
|
I cant find in the online help of JB8 Enterprise any documentation on what the "Additional Settings" folder is for, how things get in there, etc.
Where is the doc for this?
What is it for, how does one use it?
(e.g. I see source and non-source files in it that it is not apparent why they aren't shown with the other similar files in src)

Java and resource files which are made visible in the Project Pane by
way of the Automatic Packages Discovery feature are not being recorded
in your project file.
That normally would make it impossible to record any properties for
those files since there is no entry in the project for them. The
"Additional Settings" folder is created the first time a property is
set on such files and becomes the mechanism whereby their properties
are saved.
(Note that the files in the "Additional Settings" are also still
visible in their normal place in the Project Pane as automatically
discovered files just as if they did not have any properties.)
While this as the side benefit of making it easier to find the
"special" files which have property settings, just ignore this folder.

There is some documentation in there, but it is not anywhere you are
likely to look. There are a few mentions of the "Additional Settings"
folder under the OpenTools documentation, such as in the JavaDoc for
the classes:
com.borland.primetime.node.FolderNode class
com.borland.jbuilder.wizard.javadoc.Doclet
I just reported this problem on QualityCentral (#5832).

It is used to store settings for nodes that are not actually part of
the project, such as source files that are part of packages that are
members of the project and automatically generated files.
It is, perhaps, a somewhat direct view of the implementation. JBuilder
need a "real" node to hang the properties on. If it did not have one,
the properties would not be persisted.
