Setting EGL preferences

Set the basic EGL preferences as follows:

  1. Click Window > Preferences.

  2. When a list is displayed, click EGL to display the EGL screen.

  3. Select or clear the check box for VisualAge Generator Compatibility. Your choice affects what options are available at development time, as described in Compatibility with VisualAge Generator.

  4. In the Encoding list box, 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. In the User ID text box, specify the user ID for accessing the remote build machine, if any. The build descriptor option destUserID takes precedence, and both that option and the preference value take precedence over the master build descriptor option destUserID.

  6. In the Password text box, specify the password for accessing the remote build machine, if any. The build descriptor option destPassword takes precedence, and both that option and the preference value take precedence over the master build descriptor option destPassword.

  7. Click Apply.

To set other EGL preferences, see the list of related tasks at the bottom of this page. When you are finished setting preferences, click OK.
