Eclipse Usage Notes
The behavior of certain Eclipse and CDT features is modified by the Nios II SBT for Eclipse. If you
attempt to use these features the same way you would with a non-Nios II project, you might have
problems configuring or building your project. This section discusses such features.
Configuring Application and Library Properties
To configure project properties specific to Nios II SBT application and library projects, use the Nios II
Application Properties and Nios II Library Properties tabs of the Properties dialog box.
To open the appropriate properties tab, right-click the application or library project and click Properties.
Depending on the project type, Nios II Application Properties or Nios II Library Properties tab appears
in the list of tabs. Click the appropriate Properties tab to open it.
Comparing the Nios II Application Properties and Nios II Library Properties tabs
The Nios II Application Properties and Nios II Library Properties tabs are nearly identical. These tabs
allow you to control the following project properties:
• The name of the target .elf file (application project only)
• The library name (library project only)
• A list of symbols to be defined in the makefile
• A list of symbols to be undefined in the makefile
• A list of assembler flags
• Warning level flags
• A list of user flags
• Generation of debug symbols
• Compiler optimization level
• Generation of object dump file (application project only)
• Source file management
• Path to associated BSP (required for application, optional for library)
Configuring BSP Properties
To configure BSP settings and properties, use the Nios II BSP Editor.

Exclude from Build Not Supported
The Exclude from Build command is not supported. You must use the Remove from Nios II Build and
Add to Nios II Build commands instead.
This behavior differs from the behavior of the Nios II SBT for Eclipse in version 9.1.
