External Execution

See Also 

External Execution calls a new virtual machine (VM) when it executes an application. This enables you to run applications that require a special VM and to perform operations that are not possible with Internal Execution. For example, you can specify the VM executable (such as java.exe) and complete command-line parameters together with classpath settings for the application. Using External Execution also protects the IDE from application crashes and delays. External Execution is the default execution type provided with most templates in the IDE.

To view or change the properties of External Execution, open the Options window, expand Debugging and Execution and expand Execution Types, and select External Execution. When you change the value of a property, your change affects all classes that use the execution type.
