Delphi XE Build Group January 4, 2012

One feature i like in Delphi XE is the Build Group. This feature make me build or compile my multiple project, multiple module quickly. This feature will store projects and packages that we want to be Compiled/Build/Clear together into a Build Name. You can have multiple Build Group of course. With this feature i can just choose a build name, let say Client that will just compile the GUI package and the Client Application that my Project Group actually consist of more packages and application. This feature is very handy if you are working with a lot of projects and packages.

To use this feature:

- First click on the Show Build Group Pane on the project manager pane

- Then click on the New Build Group button

- Then set the build group name

- Then select all projects and packages that need to be in one build group

To use the build group

- First click on the Show Build Group Pane on the project manager pane

- Then choose the build name you want to build

- then click on the Compile/Build/Clear button on the build group pane

That’s all.
