Specifying the Default Executor for a Class

When you assign an executor to an individual class, that class is not affected when you change the default executor for the project that the file is in.

To specify the default executor for a class:

  1. Right-click the class in either the Filesystems or Project Default tab in the Explorer and choose Properties.

  2. In the Properties window, click the Execution tab.

  3. Click the value for the Executor property and select the desired option from the combo box. The default values are described below. (Your IDE might include additional executors, depending on the modules you have installed.)
    External Execution Runs the application using a new virtual machine. An external executor protects the IDE from application crashes and delays.
    JSP Execution Runs the application using an executor tailored for a JSP application.
    Applet Execution Launches the applet using an applet viewer or a web browser.
    Internal Execution Runs the application inside the IDE. An application that is run internally loads faster than an application run externally, and such an application can modify the IDE. However, if the application crashes, so does the IDE.
    (do not execute) Does not execute the class file.
To change the default executor for multiple files, select the files while holding down the CTRL key (or the SHIFT key to select a range of files), then modify the Executor property in the Properties window.
