Adding and removing BTT nature using the Nature Creator

About this task

DDE provides a Nature Creator for you to add or remove BTT nature file.

After adding BTT nature to your project, your project is tagged as a BTT project. The btt.xml file is recognized as the nature file, which is the effective central controller for the project. Then other BTT tools can access the configuration items and values in the nature file. The configuration in the btt.xml is used across the entire project. You can also remove the BTT nature.

To add BTT nature, do the following:
  1. Right-click the project, select BTT Tools > Add BTT Nature.
  2. A file import wizard is displayed for you to select the location of the btt.xml file from your workspace:
    • Select the Select from workspace radio button, and click Browse to locate the btt.xml file as shown in the following screen capture:
