Project Builder Command Menus

GNATbench provides builder commands in two menus: the Project menu and the contextual menus of the Ada Project Explorer and the Navigator. These commands include the standard project builder commands defined by Eclipse, with additional builder commands defined by GNATbench.

We describe the semantics of the standard and additional commands in the Project Builder Command Semantics part of this "Building" chapter. This section describes the menu entry locations.

Project Menu

The Project menu on the menubar defines the standard Eclipse project build commands, in the normal location, as shown in the following figure.

The GNATbench extensions appear in the next section down in the menu.

Contextual Menus

The contextual menu of the Navigator includes the standard Build Project command, as shown below. It appears in the standard "project" section of the menu, just below the import/export menu entries. This is the same command as in the Project menu so it will be disabled when a build is not necessary.

Note that you must right-click on the name of the project itself to get to the menu with the builder commands, not on some entity within the project.

The GNATbench extensions to the contextual menus of the Navigator and the Ada Project Explorer appear at the bottom of the contextual menus. These extensions include those added to the Project menu as well as two additional builder commands that are less frequently used.
