Specifying a default name for generated binders packages

The Java visual editor generates the binder helper classes into a new package in your Java project. The default package name is jve.generated. You can specify a different package name to use for new projects that use the helper classes.

Tip: For projects that already have the helper classes generated, existing jve.generated packages are not renamed. You must carefully refactor them manually (right-click package in Package Explorer and select Refactor > Rename).

To specify a default package name for generated helper classes:

1. In the main workbench, click Window > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog.

2. Expand Java > Visual Editor in the tree, and select Visual Editor Bindings.

3. In the Binding Package Name field, specify the default package name that you want to use for the generated binder classes.

4. Click OK.

Now, when new binder packages are initially generated in Java projects, the package will use the name that you specified in the preferences.
