+# Project settings
+
+Project settings tell Codewind more about the specifics of your project and can affect the status or behavior of your application. Project settings can be configured from the `Project Overview` page that is accessible from a project's context menu. You can also find the project settings in the `.cw-settings` file of the project which you can edit from the IDE. The workspace automatically picks up changes to these fields.
+
+Supported project settings include:
+* [Context root](#context-root)
+* [Health check endpoint](#health-check-endpoint)
+* [HTTPS application](#https-application)
+* [Internal application port](#internal-application-port)
+* [Internal debug port](#internal-debug-port)
+* [Maven profiles](#maven-profiles)
+* [Maven properties](#maven-properties)
+* [Paths to ignore for file changes](#paths-to-ignore-for-file-changes)
+* [Project status ping timeout](#project-status-ping-timeout)
+
+## **Context root**
+`contextRoot: <string>`
+- Codewind uses the value to determine the project state.
+- When the Open Application action is used, it uses the value as the initial endpoint. 
+- If an incorrect context root is set, the project is stuck in the starting state.
+- If the health check endpoint is set, the context root is not used to determine the project state.
+- If the value is not set, the default value is `/`.
+
+## **Health check endpoint**
+`healthCheck: <string>`
+- Codewind uses the value to determine the project state.
+- Codewind expects to use this value for the application health check endpoint.
+- If a wrong health check endpoint is set, the project is stuck in the starting state.
+- If the health check endpoint is set, the context root is not used to determine the project state. 
+
+## HTTPS application
+`isHttps: <boolean>`
+- This value tells Codewind to use the HTTPS protocol when Codewind detects the application status, and also when Codewind launches the application in a browser.
+- If your application supports HTTPS, set `isHttps` to `true`, and Codewind uses HTTPS instead of HTTP to detect the application status and to open browser URLs.
+- The default value of this setting is `false`.
+
+## **Internal application port**
+`internalPort: <string>`
+- When exposed, Codewind does not automatically expose the port. 
+- Codewind uses the value in conjunction with the context root to determine the project state.
+- If an incorrect port is set, the project is stuck in starting state.
+
+## **Internal debug port**
+`internalDebugPort: <string>`
+- Only applicable to Microprofile, Spring and Node.js projects.
+- Only applicable to a local installation of Codewind.
+- Can be assigned to a non-exposed port, then Codewind helps expose the port for you.
+- If the project is already in debug mode, restart the project in debug mode in order to pick up the new debug port.
+- If the project is in run mode, the next restart picks up and uses the new debug port and completes a debug mode.
+
+## **Paths to ignore for file changes**
+`ignoredPaths: <string[]>`
+- A list of file paths that indicate a build must be triggered on file change events in relation to the paths.
+- Each item is expected to be a regex (`"*/node_modules*"` ) or a path relative to the project's root directory (`"/README.md"`).
+
+## **Maven profiles**
+`mavenProfiles: <string[]>`
+- Only applicable to Microprofile and Spring projects.
+- Set a list of profiles if your project requires to use additional Maven profiles when Codewind issues Maven commands.
+- Do not overwrite nor remove the microclimate profile.
+- Maven profiles can be used in conjunction with Maven properties.
+
+## **Maven properties**
+`mavenProperties: <string[]>`
+- Only for Microprofile and Spring projects.
+- Maven properties can be entered in the form `key=value`.
+- Do not overwrite the microclimate property.
+- Maven properties can be used in conjunction with Maven profiles.
+
+## Project status ping timeout
+`statusPingTimeout: <string>`
+- This value is the total number of pings used by Codewind to determine if the project has timeout issues during the starting state.
+- Each ping takes 2 seconds. For example, if the value is set to 30 seconds, the timeout is 60 seconds.
+- If the value is not set, the default value is set to `90` (3 minutes) for Appsody projects, and `30` (1 minute) for all other project types.
