Execution Types in the IDE

See Also 

The IDE provides a set of execution types that suit most development needs. Each execution type contains properties that affect how the execution type is called, such as which java tool to use and the directory in which to start the process. You can view the available execution types and configure their properties in the Options window. The execution type types are listed under Debugging and Executing and expand Execution Types.

One execution type type is selected as the default execution type. The default execution type is used for all classes and templates for which you have not specifically assigned an execution type type. You can view the default execution type by opening the Options window, expanding the Editing node, and selecting the Java Sources node. By default, this execution type is the external execution type.

You can use one execution type for some classes in your project and the default execution type for others. For example, if a project is set use External Execution, but one class requires Internal Execution, you can change the execution type for that class without affecting the other files in the project.

For information on the execution type types and their properties, see:

External Execution Type

Applet Execution Type

Debugger Execution Type
J2EE Server Execution Type

Additional execution types might be installed in your version of the IDE by extension modules. You can get on help on these execution type types by selecting the execution type type in the Options window and pressing F1.
