Genero project file (4pw)

A Genero Project (4pw) is an XML file that manages the source files and the properties for building and executing programs. Genero Studio displays a project file in a convenient and visible way as a tree view in the Projects view.

A project includes:

• the name, type, and location of the source code and executable files
• the database meta-schema, if used
• the name, type and description of each node
• the parent-child relationships between nodes
• properties such as file paths, environment variables, and dependencies
• one or more sub-projects, if used

The project structure has no connection to the structure of the files on the disk. Files can be deleted and moved from projects without affecting the actual file on the disk.

A default project file contains nodes for an application, a library, and databases.
