B4J Question Did I miss something? Shared Modules - (Deprecated Do Not Use)?

[Mashiane]

Hi Fam

I've borrowed my sons laptop as mine broke. So Im setting up and... Shared Modules...

So do I have to put my shared modules on Additional Libraries folder?

Thanks

Additional Libraries folder

Is only for Libraries. XML and corresponding JAR

You can use modules from anywhere in the more recent (for a few years I think) versions. and you get options:

You can drag and drop a module, or use the menu: Project/Add Existing Module. You can obviously still organize them in one folder and link to them if you want to.

Its fine, thanks, I used my old setup as was and they still work. I was just alarmed about the Deprecation Notice on the Shared Folders helper input,

I still have some code modules that Im sharing between projects.

Of course. For new projects you can just Add Existing Module and Link to it if you want it to behave the same way.

The shared modules feature, set under Tools - Configure Paths, still works. If a linked module is not found then the IDE will look for it in the project folder and then in the shared modules folder.

That says everything. Thanks @Erel for the clarity. That "Deprecated. Do not use" helper text for Shared Modules confused me a great deal.
