In VA Java, Solutions are
normally loaded from the Repository Explorer. VA Assist
adds the ability to directly load existing
Solutions from the workbench window. Solutions may be added to the
workspace using the "Solutions | Add to Workspace" menu. The
most recent edition of each
Solution that is defined within the repository, but not currently loaded,
is listed by name in the cascade menu. Selecting any of those menu items
will load that edition of the selected Solution.

The "Selected Edition" option will open up a dialog from
which a specific Solution edition may be selected and loaded into the workspace.

The standard Add menu has also been enhanced with two
new options, "Add |
Solution" and "Add | Working Set".
Selecting the "Add | Solution"
menu will open up an Solution
Creation Wizard.
Visibility of the various workspace solutions menus is controlled via
the "Show workspace
solutions menus" option on the "VA
Assist | Layout" options page.
Note: with a remote repository
connection or a slow network connection to a local repository, you may
want to turn this option off as these features generate additional
repository traffic and may lead a slowdown in your ability to access the
various workspace menu options.
