After entering these settings, Niagara developers may safely click the Finish button to create the project in Eclipse and exit the wizard.

Warning: The Next button navigates to the second page of the wizard but is reserved for advanced users of Eclipse only. Under normal circumstances, the Finish button should be pressed instead of the Next button.

Wizard Page Two - Java Settings

This page allows advanced Eclipse developers to view or modify the settings for the Java project that is being created.

Note:Configuring the Java Settings is an advanced Eclipse function. The Niagara plug-in automatically chooses the correct settings for the Java project. Therefore, the Java project settings should not require modification under normal circumstances. Nevertheless, advanced Eclipse developers may review or edit the settings that the Niagara Plug-in chooses. All other developers should simply click Finish from the first page of the wizard to bypass the second page.
