Creating New Class Files

When creating new Java or Itcl class files please be sure that they will compile or source before adding them to the makefile. This ensures that make still works for others working on files in the same directory.
  1. Create a new class file using the File Template command under the Special menu and enter the minimum code necessary to make it compile or source.
  2. Check out the makefile and add the new file to it. You can use the Revision Control menu choice under the File menu to do this.
  3. If the file is a Java file, run make and make sure that the new class compiles. If the file is an Itcl file, source the file to be sure that it has no source-time errors.
  4. Check the class file into version control with the Revision Control menu choice.
  5. Check the makefile back in.
  6. Check the new class out of version control and keep working on it.
