New Free-form Project Wizard: Name and Location

Use to specify the name and location of existing sources to import into your free-form project.

Element Description

Location

Specifies the location of the existing source and build script in your project. In most cases, you should enter the folder that contains your Ant script and source folder. In some non-standard source folder structures, you may want to set the project location at a higher level. For example, for the following source folder structure:
MyApp
  src
  lib
  build
        build.xml

Set MyApp as the location, even though it does not directly contain the Ant script.

Build Script

Specifies the Ant script that contains the handling instructions for your project. The Ant script must be well-formed.

Project Name

Sets the display name of the project.

Project Folder

Specifies the location of the project folder. The project folder contains the project.xml file, which specifies the mappings between IDE commands and Ant script targets, as well as other project information. You can place the project folder in the source directory or keep it in a separate location.
