A build file (.eglbld extension)
can contain multiple Build Descriptor parts. Each Build Descriptor
part controls the generation process for a particular set of circumstances.
The Build Descriptor part contains the following information:
- Build descriptor options
- These options specify how to generate and prepare EGL output.
A subset of the build descriptor options can cause other build parts
to be included in the generation process. Some build descriptor options
include settings that are stored as Java™ runtime
properties.
- Symbolic parameters
- A symbolic parameter is a variable that affects the placement
and preparation of generated output. Symbolic parameters are used
only when you are generating COBOL.
- Java runtime properties
- The Java runtime properties
set information that is included in a Java runtime
properties file. You can specify properties that deal with database
connections and date formats for available locales.
