How to submit a single Java source file – Dr. John Maraist Skip to content Dr. John Maraist Dept. of Computer Science, U. Wisc. La Crosse Primary Menu 100 421 Research Links How to submit a single Java source file First, re-check the assignment to make sure that you are submitting what it asks. These instructions are about submitting a single Java source file. If your assignment asks you to submit a ZIP archive containing several different source files, you should follow these instructions instead to prepare your submission. You will be submitting your file from a browser (visiting D2L or Autolab, or whatever your class is using). But it is helpful to remember the layout Eclipse uses for your project and files. Start Eclipse and then either create or open the Java project containing the file you want to submit. If you have multiple projects with similar names or versions, make sure you open the right one! The open project should look something like this: Notice that we are looking at a project called My Test Project; there is another project with a different name, but we make an example of finding a file from My Test Project. When you are submitting a file to the web-based assignment managers we use, you must find that file from your browser’s dialog window. Use the directory selector to find your account’s home directory. My account on the lab Macs is called stu-jm, but you should look for your account’s name (or, you may have set up your account to include your home directory at the far left of the window). Select that account home directory from the drop-down menu. The middle column of the file selector should then show a number of directories. Unless you entered something different when you started Eclipse for the first time, you should see a directory eclipse-workspace there. Select that directory. You should then see in the right column a list of directories, one for each project you have used Eclipse to create. This list of directories should look like the list you see on the left of your Eclipse workspace. (There may be additional folders for dropped or non-Java projects, but every Java project that Eclipse knows should have a directory here.) Select the project directory for the project whose file you want to submit. Now look for the src folder. The name src abbreviates “source code files”. Click on the src folder. Inside that directory, you will see list of our project’s files. If you created Java packages for your project, there may be additional folders which you will need to open. If (as in this example) you Java source is not packaged, the file will be right at the top level of src. Click on your file, and press Open. You will then return to your browser’s main window, and can proceed with submitting your file — usually to D2L or Autolab.
