Options: Eclipse/WSW/WSAD

Default root directory

VA Assist will automatically detect most Eclipse, WSW or WSAD installations and will display them in the default root directory combobox. Once the default root directory has been selected, it will be used for all subsequent Eclipse/WSW/WSAD operations (unless overridden). 

If your default root directory is not listed, you can navigate to it using the "Browse" button.

You can view the contents of your root directory with the "Explore" button.

Workspaces

VA Assist will automatically detect the default workspace associated with each Eclipse/WSW/WSAD root directory. You can associate additional workspaces with a root directory via the "add" button. Non-default workspaces can be removed via the "Remove" button. 

You can view the contents of your workspace with the "Explore" button.Finally, you can launch Eclipse/WSW/WSAD on the selected workspace via the "Launch" button.

Java projects

All of the Java projects defined by the selected Eclipse/WSW/WSAD installation are shown in the Java Projects table with their names and paths. If new projects are added on the Eclipse/WSW/WSAD side after VA Java has been started up, the "Refresh All" button will refresh the list of know projects. The "Details" button can be used to get a more detailed description of the project, and the "Explore" button may be used to view the contents of the project root directory.

The "New" button can be used to create new Eclipse/WSAD Java projects. If Eclipse/WSAD is running, and you have the CodePro Studio Eclipse/WSAD plug-in installed, you will see the new project appear within Eclipse/WSAD immediately. If Eclipse/WSAD is not running, you can set a startup option in Eclipse/WSAD that will cause it to recognize new projects the next time it starts up.

Live synchronization

If you have the CodePro Studio Eclipse/WSAD plug-in installed, the "Live synchronization" option will be available. With that option turned on, the results of any export or synchronization operation between VA Java and Eclipse/WSAD will be displayed immediately in Eclipse/WSAD.

Log communications message

If you have the CodePro Studio Eclipse/WSAD plug-in installed, the "Log communications message" option will cause all communications between VA Java and Eclipse/WSAD to be logged to the va-debug.log file.
