Building, deploying, and launching a project
The steps for building, deploying, and launching a project are quite similar for all types of NSDEE
projects, though, of course, a remote project need not be deployed to a NonStop system before
launching it.
Building a project
To build a project, perform the following steps from the NonStop Development perspective:
1. In the NonStop Project Explorer, select the project you want to build.
2. Check which build configuration (typically Release or Debug) is active. From the context menu
of the NonStop Project Explorer, select Build Configurations > Set Active. This will show the
Set Active sub-menu with a list of build configurations, with a check mark next to the active
build configuration. Either dismiss the context menu (click elsewhere) or select a different build
configuration to make it active.
3. Initiate the build by selecting Build Project from the context menu of the NonStop Project
Explorer. (Alternatively: you can select Build Project from the Project menu of the main menu
bar or select the Build icon ( ) in the main tool bar.) This build will use your active build
configuration.
TIP:
Hover your mouse over the build icon ( ) in the tool bar to see what it will build. For example, if
you've selected a project named Hello World and the active build configuration for that project is
Debug, then the tool tip will read: "Build 'Debug' for project 'Hello World'".
TIP: The pull-down menu next to the build icon lets you change the current build configuration
and initiate a build in a single step.
TIP: If the build icon is disabled, NSDEE can't tell which project to build. NSDEE determines
which project to build by querying the currently active view. For example, if the currently active
view is an editor, NSDEE will build the project associated with the source file in that editor. If the
NonStop Project Explorer view is active, NSDEE will build the selected project.
All build output will be shown in the Console view. Use the Problems view to see errors and
warnings. In the Problems view you can double click on any error or warning to open a source
editor to the code location responsible for the error or warning.
Deploying a project
To transfer the final build object of a project to a NonStop system, perform the following steps
from the NonStop Development perspective:
1. In the NonStop Project Explorer, select the project whose final build object you want to transfer
to a NonStop system.
2. If you want to change build configurations (deploy transfers the final build object of the active
build configuration), select Build Configurations > Set Active from the context menu and select
the build configuration you want to be active from the Set Active sub-menu.
3. Initiate the transfer by selecting Deploy Project from the context menu of the NonStop Project
Explorer. Alternatively: you can select Deploy Project from the Project menu of the main menu
bar or select the Deploy icon ( ) in the main tool bar. NSDEE will transfer the final build
object of the active build configuration to the NonStop system.
