Workspace Introduction

ST/X keeps some settings and temporary build files in a folder called "the workspace". It contains the changes file (holding all of the changes made to the system), any snapshot images and build directories, in which stand alone binary programs can be compiled/linked for final deployment.

Top Level Module ID

For storage in a source repository, every class and extension method needs to be associated to a package (also sometimes called "projects").

PackageIDs consist of a moduleID and a folder path, separated by a colon. For example, "cg:demos/demo1" would designate a package with a module-identifier of "cg" and a folder of "demos/demo1".

ST/X allows for individual modules to be kept in individual source repositories. Thus, you can store and maintain your own files in a local repository, and at the same time use the official public Smalltalk/X (readonly-) repository to access the sources of the base system, which are in the "stx" module.

This field specifies the moduleID to use for any of your own classes.

Workspace Directory

This field specifies the path of your workspace folder.
