Building a project compiles the resources in the project. By default, the IO Design perspective builds a project whenever you modify and save a resource. If you disable automatic building, choose Project➛Build Project to build a project.
Build error messages appear in Problems, as shown in Figure 4‑1. To locate an error, double-click the error message. To filter error messages, complete the following steps:
1 In BIRT Designer Professional, choose Window➛Navigation ➛Show View Menu.
2 In View Menu choose Show, then select the menu item based on the errors you want to view.
For example, to show all errors, choose Show➛All Errors. To view errors for a selected file, choose Show➛Errors/Warnings on Selection.
BIRT Designer Professional displays error messages and warnings based on the option you specified.
