Configuring the JDK 1.1 Debugger

The IDE supports two implementations of the JDK 1.1 debugger. The first implementation runs an application on the Java 2 virtual machine. This implementation is the default. See Configuring the Default Debugger for instructions on changing the properties of this debugger.

The second implementation of the JDK 1.1 debugger, described here, runs an application on a 1.1 and compatible virtual machine. Use this implementation for compatibility reasons only.

To configure the JDK 1.1 debugger:

  1. From the main window, choose Project Settings.

  2. In the Project Settings window, expand the Debugger Types node and select JDK 1.1 Debugging.

    The properties are presented in two tabs: Properties and Expert.

  3. Modify the values to your preferred settings.

    Properties Tab
    Classic Switch A switch between the classic and HotSpot virtual machines. Set this value to true if HotSpot is installed.
    External Process The path to java.exe and its command line parameters. Clicking the ellipsis button (...) opens the Property Editor dialog box, which can help you define the process and its arguments.
    JDK 1.1 Home The path to the JDK 1.1 installation directory.

    Expert Tab
    Boot Class Path (Read only) The path to the classes that make up the Java platform.
    Class Path (Read only) The path that the IDE uses to look up classes. This value overrides the default or the CLASSPATH environment variable.
    Filesystems Path (Read only) The current class path from Filesystems.
    Library Path (Read only) The class path containing the libraries and modules that the IDE uses.
    Working Directory The directory in which to start the process. If this value is null, the IDE's own working directory is used. This feature is available with JDK 1.3 and compatible.
