# Shortcuts Directory

The shortcuts directory contains various scripts used in development.

Except for `commandPrompt.bat`, `createNewEnv.bat`, and `startEclipse.bat`, all of these scripts are intended to be executed on the command line (see `commandPrompt.bat`).

The `commandPrompt.bat` script initializes the appropriate environment variables for a development environment so that OUAF SDK scripts, particularly those in the shortcut directory, can be executed on the Windows command prompt.

The `createNewEnv.bat` script allows a developer to set up another development environment for another application server in the workstation. The initial development environment is first created on installation of the OUAF SDK.

The `startEclipse.bat` script installs the Eclipse IDE and sets up the OUAF plugin in Eclipse if these are not yet installed. Otherwise, it initializes the appropriate environment variables for a development environment that the OUAF Eclipse plugin requires.
