Referencing Shared Modules

You can import shared modules from an external location to a shared location where other users can reference them. The shared modules that you import are read-only.

Procedure

  1. To reference external shared modules, navigate to Window > Preferences > Plug-in Development > Target Platform. Using the target platform option you can add, delete, or edit target definitions. The exported definitions are stored locally and can be moved to a project and shared with other users.
  2. On the Target Content dialog box, click Add.
  3. On the Add Content dialog box, select the option BW Shared Module and click the Next.
  4. On the Add BusinessWorks Shared Module dialog box, browse to the location of the external shared module ZIP folder to add the shared module to the target definition.
  5. In the Application Module, navigate to Module Descriptors > Dependencies and click the Add button to view all the available external shared modules. To add the required external shared module, select the shared module and click Ok.
    The external shared module can then be opened in the read-only mode.
