Multiple .build Files
=====================

.. rst-class:: lead
   
You can have multiple **build files** inside the .dvt directory, and tell DVT which one to use for compilation by using the **Set current build** button from the toolbar:

.. figure:: ../../images/common/dvt-set-current-build.png
   :align: center

The current build name is saved in the **.dvt/build.config.xml** file.

The project state is saved per build file after each build, and this allows you to easily switch between multiple views of the project (see :ref:`Build Persistence` for more information).
