All development work in General Interface Builder is done in a project in the workspace. Projects are collections of files you create and edit in General Interface Builder. Project files appear in the Project Files palette.

When you create a project, the default files logic.js and appCanvas.xml are automatically created and opened in the work area:

  • logic.js is an empty JavaScript file to which you can add JavaScript code.
  • appCanvas.xml, is the default GUI component file, where you begin designing your application user interface.

When you save project files, General Interface Builder saves them to your project directory. For example, logic.js is by default at this location: workspace/ JSXAPPS/project_namee/ js / logic.js

For more information about workspaces, see Choosing a Workspace.

To access project files, click the JSXAPPS/project_name link in the General Interface Builder taskbar, located in the lower left area of the IDE.

In releases prior to 3.7, project files appear in the folders that correspond to their type, regardless of where they are located on the file system. Beginning with Release 3.7, files are in the same location as the file system.

For more information, see the General Interface Developer Guide.
