Step 2. Specify Parameters

DVT automatically recognizes the parameters by scanning the template directory recursively.

If default values are specified in the template-config.xml file, they are automatically filled in.

You can edit values as needed. You may restore to defaults as well.

If the template directory was developed using DVT and configured as a project (it includes .project and .dvt files) you may chose to inherit its settings (default.build etc.).
