Setting general preferences

Set the basic EGL preferences as follows:
  1. From the main menu, click Window > Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, click EGL in the tree.
  3. In the EGL Base section, select whether VisualAge® Generator compatibility is needed in your environment. Ensure that the VisualAge Generator compatibility check box is selected if your environment requires compatibility.
  4. In the Encoding field, select the character-encoding set that will be used when you create new EGL build (.eglbld) files. The setting has no effect on existing build files. The default value is UTF-8.
  5. Select features to be enabled by default for a new EGL project in the Default EGL Project Features Choices.
  6. Select facets to be enabled by default for a new EGL web project in the Default EGL Web Project Facet Choices section.
  7. If you are migrating code from VisualAge Generator, EGL must determine the kind of web project to create when migrating web transactions. Select a server runtime program to affect this decision from the Code migration's default web runtime list, or click New to set up a new server.
  8. Select the way you want EGL to respond when dependent projects are not in the workspace. The Incomplete build path preference has two possible values:
    Error (the default)
    If a dependent project is missing, EGL will not attempt to build the project.
    Warning
    If a dependent project is missing, EGL will attempt to build the project, showing individual errors for missing dependent parts.
  9. Click Apply to save the changes and remain in the Preferences window. Click OK to save the changes and exit the window.
