The Files window shows a directory-based view of your projects, including files and folders that are not displayed in the Projects window. You can open the Files window by choosing Window > Files (Ctrl-2).
For C and C++ projects, the Files window displays the following:
Item | Description |
---|---|
nbproject |
The directory that contains the project makefile and other metadata. This directory
contains:
|
nbproject/private |
The directory that holds properties that are defined for you only. If you are sharing the project over VCS, any properties you define in private.properties are not checked in with other project metadata and are applied only to your installation of the IDE. The private directory contains a launcher.properties file which enables you to create "launchers" so you can easily run your project from the project context menu with different arguments, for example, or launch it from a script. See Using C/C++ Launchers for more information. |
build | The output directory for object (.o) files. This directory may contain subdirectories that are named for the project configuration and tool collection that were used to build the project. For example, if you build your project while the Debug configuration is active, and you are using the Oracle Solaris Studio tool collection on a Oracle Solaris operating system on an x86 system, you will have Debug and OracleSolarisStudio-Solaris-x86 subdirectories. These subdirectories enable you to keep separate build products for different build environments. |
dist | The output directory for executable (.exe) files and library files. This directory may contain subdirectories that are named for the project configuration and tool collection that were used to build the project. For example, if you build your project while the Debug configuration is active, and you are using the Oracle Solaris Studio tool collection on an Oracle Solaris operating system on an x86 system, you will have Debug and OracleSolarisStudio-Solaris-x86 subdirectories. These subdirectories enable you to keep separate build products for different build environments. |
Makefile | The master makefile for the project. |
