Strange behaviour by processing a project file

Hello, I have the following file structure: * file "my-project.tex" contains: \environment my-environment \startproject my-project \product my-product1 \product my-product2 \stopproject * file "my-environment.tex" contains: ... font definitions, style definitions etc. * file "my-product1.tex" contains: \project my-project \startproduct my-product1 ... \stopproduct * file "my-product2.tex" contains: \project my-project \startproduct my-product2 ... \stopproduct Now, when I process the product1 with "context my-product1.tex" I get the output in my-product1.pdf as expected. But when I try to process the whole project with "context my-project.tex", the file is processed but I get no pdf output, which surprise me, because in the reference manual contextref.pdf I read: "In principal a project file contains only a list of products and environments. If you would process the project file all products will be placed in one document. This is seldom wanted." So I would expect to get one pdf outputfile with all products. Could anyone explain me, why I don't get any pdf output? Best regards Pavel

A project cannot be typeset, only products and components. The mechanism was recently changed from a tolerant to a more strict version that now causes your problem. “Projects are just there to help clever editors to identify products.” [1] Marco [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/70876
