Configuring the Internal Compiler

From the Project Settings window, you can control the behavior of the internal compiler, such as whether to create debugging information and whether to display each use of a deprecated member or class. When you reconfigure a compiler, your changes affect all classes that use that compiler.

To configure the internal compiler:

  1. From the main window, choose Project Settings.

  2. In the Project Settings window, expand the Compiler Types node and select Internal Compilation.

  3. In the Properties tab, modify the values to your preferred settings.
    Boot Class Path Sets the path from which to load your java source files.
    Debug Creates debugging information when you compile. This option enables you to see local variables during debugging.
    Deprecation Displays each use of a deprecated member or class.
    Encoding Sets the encoding that determines how the compiler interprets characters beyond the ASCII character set.
    Identifying Name Sets the name that the IDE uses to identify this compiler type. Classes do not register name changes of compiler types. If you change this property, any class that used the compiler will revert to using the default compiler.
    Optimize Optimizes the generated bytecode so that it is more compact and runs faster.
