Project Natures
===============

In Eclipse a project can have **zero to many project natures**. Various plug-ins provide functionality for a project if it is tagged with a specific nature. For example DVT builds a project only if it has one of the natures it knows about, for example **Verilog, VHDL or e Language**.

Project natures are stored in the project definition, that is in the .project file.

To **turn on/off** a specific nature for a project, select the project in Navigator and choose :guilabel:`Change DVT Nature` from the right click menu.
