Linking Ant targets with IDE commands

• Specify which targets the IDE should run for project commands. Leave Generate Javadoc and Test Project empty, since the Ant script does not contain targets for these commands. These commands will not be available in the IDE until you write targets for them. Click Next

Configuring source folders

1. Click Add Folder and add both of the BlackJack source package folders to the project.
   • More about source folders
2. In Source Level, choose the JDK that you want to compile and run your application against. Click Next.
   Note: If the target JDK is different than the IDE's default JDK, you have to register the JDK by choosing Tools > Java Project Manager.
3. Select BlackJackLib and click Add JAR/Folder to add jcardshark-core.jar to the source folder's classpath.
4. Select BlackJackUI and add both BlackJackLib and jcardshark-core.jar to the source folder's classpath.
   Note: This classpath is not used for compilation or execution - your Ant script handles the classpath for these tasks. These settings tell the IDE which classes to include in code completion and refactoring.
