Compiling configuration resources

There are several ways to compile configuration resources during development:

Build

On the Build menu, click Build Project. Compiles all resources that have been modified since the last compilation. All dependent resources are also compiled. When you run or debug the server within Studio, Studio first runs a make to ensure that all resources are compiled.

Rebuild

On the Build menu, click Rebuild Project. Recompiles all resources, including resources that have already been compiled. This is required after first installing Studio, and may be necessary when the classpath entries have changed. For example, when SDKs or libraries are added, removed, or altered.

Recompile

On the Build menu, click Recompile ‘resource_name’. Recompiles only the selected resource and its dependencies.

gwb compile

At a command prompt, run this command. To run the QuickStart development server from the command line, you must first run this command to compile it from the command line.

Note: Compilation from the command prompt is separate from compiling within Studio. Guidewire recommends that you compile within Studio whenever possible, and compile from the command prompt for build system and continuous integration scenarios.
