When you develop an application, you may use resource files that are not Java source files or bytecode. For example, you might create HTML files, image files, audio clips, or SQLJ source files.
VisualAge for Java does not store resource files in the repository or the workspace.
Every time you create a project in the workspace, a project resources directory
is automatically created for that project. VisualAge for Java looks for resource files in
this directory when you run programs or applets
in that project, and when you export your code.
Every project in the workspace has its own subdirectory in the x:\IBMVJava\Ide\project_resources, where x:\IBMVJava is the directory where VisualAge for Java is installed.
You create resource files outside the development environment and store them in the project resources directory. You also copy, edit, move, and back up resource files outside the IDE. Within the IDE, you can view a project's resource files by selecting Open to > Resources from the project's pop-up menu. You can also delete, rename, or open resource files from the IDE.
