Maintaining the Resource Library

To operate efficiently in the Eclipse Environment the Resource Library uses an index of all available elements. This index is extracted from all the Jar Files associated with the projects in the workspace and includes all some core elements created in Projects within the Eclipse workspace. Create and maintain the Resource Library Index manually at any time. However, the Eclipse workspace is generally configured to maintain the Index automatically to build the index when the Eclipse workspace opens and maintain it during the design process when new elements are created or when externals are added to the Project.

To enable Automatic Indexing, use Window > Preferences and select Enactor Development > Resource Library > Resource Indexing to show the Preferences Resource Indexing panel as shown. The Resource Indexing panel provides CheckBox control over the individual elements and group-level CheckBox control over the Workspace and Platform categories to enable or disable inclusion in the indexes at an individual resource-type level.

Important Note: Selection of resource types for automatic indexing also impacts the searching of indexes. While the indexes may be built comprehensively using the manual process, if they are not flagged for automatic indexing they will be assumed not required and not listed when searching the indexes. Best practice is therefore to always fully-enable automatic indexing of the Resource Library.
