Defining a New Compiler Type

See Also 

If the compiler types provided with the IDE do not suit your development tasks, you can define a new compiler type and use it as your default compiler. The new compiler type can call a new compiler or call an existing compiler with different property settings.

To define a new compiler type:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools and choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, expand the Building node.
  3. Right-click the Compiler Types node and choose New and choose compilation service.
  4. In the wizard, type a name for the compiler and click Finish.
  5. Expand the Compiler Types node and select the compilation service you just created.
  6. Modify the properties to your preferred settings.
Tip The IDE creates a new compiler type with basic property settings. To create a new compiler type with an existing compiler's properties, right-click the existing compiler type in the Options window and choose Copy. Then right-click the Compiler Types node and choose Paste and choose Copy.

To make the new compiler type the default compiler:

  1. In the Options window, expand the Editing node.
  2. Select the Java Sources node.
  3. Set the Default Compiler property to the specific compiler type.

    The new compiler type is assigned to all files and templates for which you have not specifically assigned a compiler type.
