Build the package

If your package and packaging rules are ready, you can build the Genero archive file.

Right-click on the Package node and select Build.

The package is built according to the package rules. If the build is successful, a Genero archive (.gar) file is created and saved to the Distribution directory specified in the Package node properties. The default location is projectdir/distbin.

A default manifest is generated for the package. If you want to create a custom manifest, see the Genero Application Server User Guide; the menu option File > New > Web / AS > Genero Archive MANIFEST creates this template:
