Setting EGL compiler preferences

The EGL compiler preferences identify which compiler and compiler-specific generators are available to you and what to name the folders that will receive generated output. This information sets the default values for the equivalent properties in the project, folder, package, and source file.

Do as follows:
  1. From the main menu, click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window is displayed.
  2. In the Preferences menu, expand EGL and click Compiler. The Compiler pane is displayed.
  3. In the Compiler pane, select a compiler from the Default compiler menu.
  4. In the Preferences menu, expand Compiler and click EDT. The EDT pane is displayed.
  5. If you want to change the name of the default generation folder for the Java generator, type the desired name in the Default generation folder field on the Java Generator tab.
  6. If you want to change the name of the default generation folder for the JavaScript generator, type the desired name in the Default generation folder field on the JavaScript Generator tab.
  7. To save the changes and remain in the Preferences window, click Apply. To save the changes and exit the window, click OK. To cancel the changes and exit the window, click Cancel.
When you are working in a specific project, you can rename an output folder or specify a new default name in an EGL preference or subordinate property. In most cases, the effect is to retain a version of the files that were in place at the time you made the change. Future output is placed in a folder that is named from the preference or property that is in effect.
