Artifact page

Use the Artifact page to configure the artifact layout, to define which activities should be performed after the artifact is built, and, optionally, to enable the use of server-specific validators.

General artifact settings are listed and briefly explained below. More specific settings are available on the following tabs:

• Output Layout Tab
• Validation Tab
• Post-Processing Tab
• Pre-Processing Tab
• Android Tab
• Java FX Tab

Note that the set of tabs depends on the artifact type.

If the artifact is not going to be used on its own but only as a part of other artifacts, the field may may be left empty. In this case the artifact will not appear in the context menu on choosing Build | Build Artifact and no target will be generated for it in build.xml on choosing Build | Generate Ant Build.
Build on make	Select this check box to have the artifact built upon project make.
Show contents of elements	Select this check box to show contents of all of the elements (library files, included artifacts, JavaEE facets, and JPA resources). If you want to show only certain categories of elements, click the ellipsis button, and select the desired category in the list.
