Managing Build Configurations

By default, a new project contains one build configuration, named 'new_configuration'. For native COBOL projects, use the Manage Configurations option to create and maintain multiple build configurations for the current project. Managed COBOL projects only allow one build configuration within the project.

1. From an Eclipse workspace, select the required project, and then select Project > Properties.
2. Expand Micro Focus, select Build Configurations.
3. Do one or more of the following:
   • To create a new build configuration:
     1. Click Manage Configurations.
     2. Click (Create a new configuration).

        A new configuration is created, named new_configuration_xx, and displayed in the list of configurations.

   • To rename the current build configuration:
     1. Click Manage Configurations.
     2. Select the configuration from the list and click .
     3. Type a new name for the configuration, then press Enter.

        The renamed configuration is stored in the list in alphabetical order.

   • To change the active build configuration:

     The current build configuration is denoted by in the Active column.

     1. Click Manage Configurations.
     2. Select one of the existing build configurations not currently active, and click (Set selected configuration as active).

        The Active column is updated, and the configuration is indicated as [Active] on the Build Configurations screen.

   • To copy an existing build configuration:
     1. Click Manage Configurations.
     2. Select one of the existing build configurations, and click (Create a new configuration from the selected configuration).

        A copy of the build configuration is added to the list.

   • To delete an existing build configuration:
     1. Click Manage Configurations.
     2. Select one of the existing build configurations, and click (Delete the selected configuration).

        The build configuration is deleted.

4. Click Finish.

   Any changes are reflected in the list of configurations displayed to the left of Manage Configurations. Select a configuration from this list to start editing its settings; see Configuring Build Configuration Settings for more information.
