8.5.6 Compiling and Running a Screen

You can compile and run individual screens also. The options are present under the Build menu. On compiling a screen, the .class file is created and placed under classes directory of the corresponding project's directory. The Screens developed using Bean Builder can either be compiled separately and then run or directly compiled and run with a single option.

You can compile the screen in either of the two ways mentioned below.

• From Build menu select Compile menu item.

• Click the Compile icon in the toolbar, in the second row and fifth column.

Thus the screen is compiled with the required classes. The log messages and the error messages (if any) are displayed in the Status window. You can toggle the visibility of the Status Window by selecting the Status Window menu item from View menu or by pressing F7 key.

You can run the compiled screen in either of the two ways mentioned below.

• From Build menu select Run menu item.

• Click the Run icon in the toolbar, in the second row and sixth column.

Thus the screen is run and the output is shown as an applet. You can get the feel of the application here.

You can directly compile and run the screen by selecting the Compile and Run menu item from the Build menu.
