project-package-name

Arguments: project

The default method for this generic function returns a keyword symbol naming the default package that is used for source code that is auto-generated for the forms of a project. This package is used for all forms whose form-package-name is nil, as it is by default; in other words, it is used for all forms that do not explicitlly override this project-wide default. The value of this property for the current project is displayed on the Options tab of the Project Manager dialog. The setf of this function may be called to change the default package of the project.

The package must exist before setf'ing this value. You can create the package either on the fly in a listener, or go ahead and add a complete defpackage form to one of the early files of the project, and then set the project-package-name of the project on the Options tab of the Project Manager dialog. The next File | Save All command will then save the .lpr project definition file to contain a minimal defpackage form for the package to allow the .lpr file to load without error and to allow all of the project's source code files to be "in" the project's package, including the file that contains the complete defpackage form.

See form-package-name for details on when and how the package is used. See also project-package.
