Project Files
A CodeWarrior project consists of source-code, library, and other files. The project
window (Figure 3.2
) lists all files of a project, letting you:
• Add files,
• Remove files,
• Specify the link order,
• Assign files to build targets, and
• Direct the IDE to generate debug information for files.

NOTE
Figure 3.2 shows a floating project window. Alternatively, you can
dock the project window in the IDE main window or make it a child
window. You can have multiple project windows open at the same
time; if the windows are docked, their tabs let you control which one
is at the front of the main window.
The CodeWarrior IDE automatically handles the dependencies among project files,
and stores compiler and linker settings for each build target. The IDE tracks which
files have changed since your last build, recompiling only those files during your next
project build.
