Working while disconnected

The i Projects perspective allows for disconnected development. A live connection is required only when code updates or builds are needed, or when you need to view remote resources for a project. If you are working on a remote laptop, or are at home with a slower connection, you might choose to work in disconnected mode. With this option, you explicitly copy files locally while you have a live connection, close the connection, work on the files at your leisure, and upload them back to the server once you have finished. Another advantage to working in disconnected mode is that you can verify source code for syntax and semantic errors without being connected and submit a compile only when you are connected.

An i Project represents the starting point for any development, whether team sharing is needed or not. It is used for building, version management, sharing, and organizing resources. It has two required properties (or attributes) to enable the development cycle:
