Debugger Executor
See Also
You can use the debugger executor to run an application in debug mode. For
instructions on using the debugger executor, see Running
an Application in Debug Mode.
To view or change the properties of the debugger executor, open the Options window,
expand Debugging and Execution
Execution
Types, and select Debugger Execution. When you change the value of a property,
your change affects all classes that use the executor.
You can set the following properties:
Properties
- Enable Asserts. If True, enables evaluation of assert expressions
in execution. Asserts are available in JSDK 1.4 and later.
- Mode. Specifies which Java debugger implementation to run. See Debugger
Types in the IDE for a description of when you can use each debugger implementation.
- External Process. Sets the external process that the IDE uses to
execute a class. Click the ellipsis (...) button to browse to a new executable
or to configure the arguments passed to the executor. You can use any of the
variables listed under the Argument key.
- Identifying Name. Specifies the name that the IDE uses to identify
this executor type.
Expert
- Append Environment Variables. If True, appends or replaces existing
IDE environment variables, such as Classpath, with the variables
listed in the Environment Variable property.
- Boot Classpath. Sets the Java system libraries that the executor
uses. To execute your classes with a different JDK version than the one the
IDE is running on, enter the path to the JDK libraries in this property. By
default, the IDE uses your default Java platform.
- Classpath. Specifies the path to the classes that the IDE uses. By
default the IDE uses its internal classpath, which includes all mounted filesystems
and various directories in the IDE's installation and user directories. The
IDE ignores your CLASSPATH environment variable. Click the ellipsis button
to display a property editor in which you can change the classpath settings.
- Classic Switch. If True, uses the Java Classic virtual machine. If
False, uses the Java HotSpot virtual machine.
- Environment Variables. Specifies the environment variables that the
IDE uses, defined as name=value. When this value is
set to null, the IDE settings are used.
- Library Path. Specifies the class path containing the libraries and
modules that the IDE uses. You cannot edit this property.
- Filesystems Path. Specifies the path for all Filesystems nodes, including
filesystems that you have mounted. You cannot edit this property.
- Working Directory. Specifies the directory in which to start the
process. If the value is empty, the IDE's own working directory is used.
