#97 — IDE vocabulary

Like Eclipse and Netbeans, IntelliJ has its own vocabulary. Classes
are grouped into packages. Packages are grouped into directories,
reflecting the dot structure of the packages. Directories are grouped
into modules. A module in a group of packages all compiled with a
common source code target level. Modules are grouped into projects.
All classes in a project must use a common code style. You recompile
the project as a whole. Projects are usually more or less
self-contained collections of code that share code. You might carve
many distributables out of a single project. Classes in the same
project can share code simply by using an import statement. To use
code outside the project, you must specially configure library jars
etc. to import that code into the project.

What the equivalent vocabulary for other IDEs such as Netbeans and
Eclipse?  I would like to update the Java glossary.

It is almost impossible to keep things in synch manually. Instead: 
-Keep each fact in only one central database (not necessarily SQL),
and access it as needed. Since there is only one copy of each fact, 
there is nothing to get out of synch.
-Use some automated tool so that if you change a fact is one place,
it automatically updates the others.
-Write a sanity checker you run periodically to ensure all is consistent. 
This is the strategy compilers use.
-Document the procedures needed to keep all in synch if you change 
something and rigidly and mechanically follow them.

In NetBeans, it seems a project produces one jar, and all must be
compiled with the same source level.  It seems to be something even
smaller than a package, if your package generates several different
jars.

I'll try to answer for Eclipse. Eclipse has workspaces. A workspace is
a directory that can contain multiple projects. When the IDE is
opened, the user can select the which workspace to work within. Code
is not shared between workspaces.

A project contains the source code, compiled classfiles, and the paths
to library jar files. The libraries can be included in the project, or
may be external to the project. A project can also depend upon another
project, so that the sources and libraries in the project that is
depended upon are available to the dependent project.

Source files are contained within packages. A project can have
multiple package structures. Eclipse allows the user to set which
files are source files, and which are not. The project is compiled as
a whole.

Multiple jar files can be created from a project. The jar can include
just the class files, the source and class files, or the source files,
class files, and library files. Each jar file is independent, and each
source file within a project can be individually included in the jar
file, or excluded from the jar file.

Hope this is clear,

John

That is exactly what I wanted to know.  Thank you.  I included it
verbatim in the entry at http://mindprod.com/jgloss/eclipse.html

When you were a child, if you did your own experiment
to see if it was better to put to cocoa into your cup first
or the hot milk first, then you likely have the programmer gene..
