Configuring projects

The default IDE and project settings might not always be the most appropriate for your projects. You might need to manually configure your projects in order to specify things such as:

• how the projects is built - for example, what settings are to be used if building for a debug or a release build
• the build precedence and which files are built
• whether your project depends on other projects in the workspace
• which folders the project should check for copybooks
• whether newly-added folders are searched for copybooks

Read through the topics in this section to learn more about the configuration settings. After that, practice what you've learned with the tutorial that follows, Configuring the Hello COBOL World application.
