The Software Project Explorer view provides a hierarchical view of the projects, activities, and modified software components in the Project Server. See the following figure for an example.

This table describes the different nodes in the previous figure:

Nr. in figure Description

4 Delivery Activity

Toolbar

The toolbar of the Software Project Explorer view contains the following buttons:

Properties Shows the properties of the selected project or activity.

For details on the project and activity properties, see the description of the Create a Software Project and Create a new Activity dialog boxes.

New Software Project Adds a project on the project server.
New Activity Adds a new activity to the selected project.
Compile closed activity at development system Compiles the software components in the selected closed activity.

Use this command if the automatic compilation during the ending of the activity has failed, and the problem that caused the compilation error is solved.

Example:

  • Activity B is part of the context of activity A. A UI script in activity A calls a DLL that belongs to activity B. The DLL is not compiled yet.
  • Activity A is ended by its owner. The compilation of the UI script fails, because the DLL in activity B is not compiled. Activity A is closed anyway.
  • Activity B is ended by its owner. The DLL is compiled automatically and the activity is closed.
  • The owner of activity A can now use the Compile closed activity at development system option to compile the UI script in the closed activity A.
Delete selected item Deletes the selected project or activity.
Note: 
  • You cannot delete a project, if the project status is Created or Active.
  • This option does not undo the software modifications performed within the project or activity that are already checked in.
Menu Contains these menu items:
  • New Software Project
  • New Activity
  • Compile closed activity
  • Filters

    This command starts a dialog box where you can specify filter criteria for the Software Project Explorer view.

    See Project Server View Filter.

Note: The remaining buttons are standard Eclipse commands. For details on these buttons, see "User interface information" in the Workbench User Guide.
