The New Free-Form Project wizard imports an existing Java project or web
module into a
.
In the Build and Run Actions page, you map IDE commands to targets in your
project's Ant script. The combo boxes for each command contain all of the targets
in your project's Ant script.
Notes:
If your Ant script does not contain a target for one of the commands on
this page, the command is unavailable in the IDE.
If the Ant target for a command lives in a separate Ant script, you have
to edit the project's project.xml file to tell the IDE where to look
for the target. See Mapping an Ant Target
to an IDE Command for more information.
If your Ant script uses an <import> target to import targets
from another Ant script, these targets only show up if the <import>
target specifies the full path to the secondary Ant script. If the <import>
target uses a property to reference the secondary Ant script, the targets
do not show up in the combo boxes. You have to map the IDE commands to the
targets by editing the project.xml file.
After you have created a free-form project, you can add shortcuts to any
of its Ant script's targets using the contextual menu of the project node.
Right-click the project node, choose Properties, and register the shortcuts
in the Build and Run Actions page of the dialog box.
