Specifying J2EE preferences

Use the Preferences dialog to specify preferences for J2EE development.

To work with J2EE tools, make sure that the Enterprise Java capabilities are turned on in the Workbench > Capabilities page of the Preferences dialog.

To specify J2EE development preferences:

1. Click Window > Preferences > J2EE.

2. Specify the following preferences:
   1. In the Highest version used for J2EE development drop-down list, select the highest J2EE specification level that you want to work with. The workbench will use this specification level as the default when you are creating projects, and it will not allow you to develop projects at higher specification levels.

   2. Select or clear the Perform incremental deployment check box. Incremental deployment affects situations when you make changes to a project after deployment code is already generated. When you regenerate the deployment code, the workbench will only generate the necessary code related to the files that were affected by your changes.

Tip: The J2EE perspective is the default perspective for the workbench, but you can modify this preference (Window > Preferences) on the Workbench > Perspectives page of the Preferences dialog.
