3. The source code files would be generated.
If there are source code files that have the same name, the source code files would be completely replaced with what you last export.
If you do not want the latest export to overwrite the whole source code and you want to keep any modifications you’ve made to the .java files, check [When overwriting, keep the information of existing code that is not in the model.] option.
