What is a Working Set? How do I build/compile a Working Set?

The Working Set is a CodeWarrior eclipse IDE feature, that allows you to group elements for display in views. With that, you can do operations on a set of elements in that working set. Especially when you are using many projects the same time, working sets are a big help to focus on the right set of things at a time.

To build/compile a Working Set:

  1. Select Project > Build Working Set > Select Working Set from the IDE menu bar.

    The Select Working Set dialog box appears.

  2. If you have no Working Set defined, then click New.

    The New Working Set dialog box appears.

  3. Select C/C++ and click Next.

    The C/C++ Working Set page appears.

  4. Specify a name in the Working set name textbox, and select the desired projects that you want to include from the Working set content list.
  5. Click Finish.

    The New Working Set dialog box closes and the newly created working set appears in the Select Working Set dialog box.

  6. Select the newly created Working Set.
