src\

—This contains the source files of the project.

conf\

—This contains the configuration files for the project.

devicePolicy.ldd

—This is the configuration file that manages the profiles and associated policy settings

associated with a solution.

forms.ldd

—This is the configuration file that manages the formsets included with or linked to the

solution.

reports.ldd

—This is the configuration file that manages the custom reports included with the solution.

solutionSettings.ldd

—This is the configuration file that manages the global and local solution settings

available for a solution. Settings created here are accessible by scripts and can be changed using Lexmark

Management Console.

statusPage.properties

—This is the configuration file that manages the look and feel of the custom status

page that may be used instead of Lexmark Management Console for non

‑

technical users.

esf\

—This contains any .fls files for eSF applications used with a hybrid solution.

esf-app-source-code\

—This contains the source files from any eSF applications used with a hybrid solution.

forms\

—This contains any formsets included with the solution. (Use the

forms.ldd

configuration file to add

forms.)

images\

—This contains images associated with the solution, such as home screen images added using the

device policy editor. Files in this folder are copied to the images\ folder of the solution on the LDD system

when the solution is installed.

reports\

—This contains compiled Jasper custom report files associated with the solution. (Use the

reports.ldd

configuration file to add reports.)

scripts\

—This contains the JavaScript scripts included in the solution. This folder may be empty for solutions

that deploy only an eSF application or LDD component. Each main script located here should be assigned

to a profile in devicePolicy.ldd.

scheduled\

—This contains scripts that can be scheduled using Lexmark Management Console after a

solution is deployed.

solution\

—This contains files and components accessed only by the current solution. This folder is accessible

by scripts through the

taskInfo.solutionDir

property.

WEB

‑

INF\

—This contains property files for custom components specific to a solution that should not be

shared with other solutions.

lib\

—This contains custom components specific to a solution that should not be shared with other

solutions.

target\

—This contains the compiled solution after a project build, in addition to associated class files and XML

descriptor files. This folder appears only in a new project after the first build.

Note:

This folder may be deleted to ensure a clean build.

install\

—This contains the compiled solution, with the extension .solution. The file contained here can be

distributed independently as a complete solution.

solution\

—This contains copies of all files contained in the solution file from the time of the build.

Note:

File and folder names within a workflow solution project cannot contain double

‑

byte characters. However,

files themselves may contain double

‑

byte characters.

Managing solution projects

The following operations are performed the same way for LDD solution projects and for any project in Eclipse:

•

Importing existing projects

•

Importing archive files
