AliasLibrary Overview

The AliasLibrary resource allows you to specify aliases to file system resources (such as a jar file) that need to be included in your project. To use a file system resource, a project needs to know where to find it. Since projects are exported or deployed to different machines and different environments, Designer uses aliases to specify file locations. Before including a file, an alias is created that specifies the file’s location. An alias is part of your preferences and is common to all of your projects. Aliases are created and managed under the File Alias tab in the Preferences dialog.
