In the development environment

In the development environment, you can specify how you want the targets in your workspace to be built and deployed. Then you can build individual targets or all the targets in the workspace. Table 1-3 summarizes where you set up build and deploy options, and how you start builds.

Table 1-3: Building and deploying targets and workspaces

To do this

Do this

Set deploy options for most targets

Select Properties from the pop-up menu for the target and select the Deploy tab. Check the box next to a project to build it when you select Deploy from the target’s pop-up menu. Use the arrows to set the order in which projects are built.

Set options for each project in the target in the Project painter.

Set build and deploy options for the workspace

Select Properties from the pop-up menu for the workspace and select the order in which targets should be built. You can check which projects and deploy configurations are currently selected on the Deploy Preview page.

Build, migrate, or deploy a selected target

Select Incremental Build, Full Build, Migrate, or Deploy from the pop-up menu for the target. Deploy builds the projects in the target in the order listed on the Deploy page of the target’s properties dialog box.

Build or deploy all the targets in the workspace

Select Incremental Build, Full Build, or Deploy from the pop-up menu for the workspace, from the Run menu, or from the PowerBar.
