Adding a resource associations part

A resource associations part relates a file name with a system resource name on the target platform where you intend to deploy the generated code. You can add a resource associations part to an EGL build file. For details, see Resource associations and file types. To add a resource associations part, do the following:

  1. When you are working in the EGL or EGL Web perspective, open an EGL build file with the EGL build parts editor. If you do not have a file open, do as follows in the Project Navigator:
    1. Right-click on the EGL build file
    2. Select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor
  2. By default, the Outline view is open in the EGL perspective. If you are working in the EGL Web perspective, open the Outline view by selecting Show View > Outline from the Window menu. In the Outline view, right-click on the build file, then click Add Part.
  3. Click Resource Associations, then click Next.
  4. Choose a name for your resource associations part that adheres to EGL part name conventions. In the Name field, type the name of your resource associations part.
  5. In the Description field, type a description of your part.
  6. Click Finish. The resource associations part is added to the EGL build file and the resource associations part page is opened in the EGL build parts editor.
