• Create separate folders for source files and public resources - Separate folders will be created in which you can place resources which should be included or excluded from the Build Path. See Configuring a Project's PHP Build Path for more information.
  The default setting for this option can be configured from the New Project Layout Preferences page.

• JavaScript Support - Mark the 'Enable JavaScript support for this project' check-box for JavaScript functionality (e.g. JavaScript Content Assist options) to be available to the project. See Enabling JavaScript Support in PHP Projects in PHP Projects for more information.

8. Click on a selected folder to view the files included in the folder.
   The individual files can also be selected/unselected to download from the remote server. By default, all files within a folder are selected.
