Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge allows you to create a custom project type which is a combination of different project types added to a single project. In a custom project type, you can specify the folder layout, the default files in each folder, and the PROPATH settings for folders in each project. You can also share these custom project types with other developers. The custom project types you create can be used as templates for new projects.
For more information on the options for creating a custom project type, see Customization Editor.
Note: OpenEdge stores the details of the custom project types in the
com.openedge.pdt.extensibility.user Eclipse plugin. So, if you are running Progress
Developer Studio for OpenEdge in multiple Eclipse environments, you must ensure that
the required projects are available for each Eclipse environment.
