component and stores them in the specified folder. For more information about specifying

where components are stored, see “Specify the Location of Component Files” on page

7-6.

Note: Existing files in this location are overwritten.

Rebuild Existing Components

To add, remove, or change properties of an existing component, use the Rebuild

Constructor button. This button becomes active only after you have previously

created a component using the Build Component button. To activate the Rebuild

Constructor button, specify the Package name and Class name for an existing

component. These fields are located in the Component File Location area of the

Properties pane.

If you select a component using Tools > Create component from, the component's

fields are filled in automatically and the button becomes active.

After you have finished modifying the component, click the Rebuild Constructor

button to rebuild the component. Writable files in the component's folder location are not

overwritten.

Remove a Component

To remove a component:

Delete its class folder, <root>/@package_name/@class_name. If the component

you want to remove is the only component in the package, delete the entire package.

Edit <root>/@package_name/rptcomps2.xml to remove the XML element that

registers the component.
