Re: Component: \product, \project

Usually, projects (collections of environment files) are applied at the
product level. Sometimes, however, you want to apply one at the component
level, so you put a \project in the \startcomponent.

You never need to put \product anywhere.

Clearer descriptions of what the commands \project and \product do can
be found on the command pages; same for all the other structure
commands. The [[Project structure]] page is indeed confusing, it needs
a better structure itself.

Description from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/project:
When used inside a \startproduct or \startcomponent environment,
\project is an instruction to source any \environment files linked in
the project file.

Description from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/product:
The command \product does not do anything: to link a product to a
project file, one should use \project inside the product. Nonetheless,
the \product command is often used inside project files as a reminder
of what products the project involves.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Sietse
