The Project menu contains commands for project management. Choose one of the following commands for more information.
Compiles any .java files within the selected node that have outdated or nonexistent .class files. Also compiles any of the node's imported files that the node depends on which have outdated or nonexistent .class files. After the initial compilation, Project|Make is faster than Project|Rebuild.
The selected node can be a project, package, or .java file. Making a package or project includes all the .java files within the package or project, including those within nested packages.
An "outdated" .class file is one that has an earlier date-time stamp than its .java source file.
The imported files that are checked and compiled include all recursively imported files (that is, imported files of imported files) except for files that are in stable packages that are not part of the project.
To Make a node, select the node in the project pane, and choose Project|Make <node name>.
