Project Settings - paths, classes, etc

Question

I am interested in finding out if anyone is creating
'default project' settings.
For example, having a 'production' source reference library, that would be searched during 'make/compile' and 'build' processes.
More detail:
Application 'ABC' currently in production, has all of its components located on a server.
I have to make a change to a single xml file.
I point jDeveloper's project settings to search my hard drive first, to pickup my change, then to search server to pick up remainder of application components.
Has anyone else implemented such a process?
If not why not?
If yes, how did you implement?
Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Try the following:
Create a workspace with a project. The project will be used to navigate and build your ABC application sources.
Edit the project properties (double click on the project node in the Navigator). Set the following project properties:
1. InputPath -> Scan Source Paths to Determine Project
Contents. Check it.
2. InputPath -> Java Source Path. Set it to point to the
directory where your source files can be found. The
path should point to the root directory where your java
package structure starts.
3. Libraries -> New... Define a new library to point to
all the jar components located on your servers.
Apply changes. When the dialog is dismissed the project in the navigator can be expanded to show all sources in the source path. You should also be able to build it.
