Configuring the Applet Executor

From the Project Settings window, you specify whether to launch your applet in the Applet Viewer associated with the IDE or in the web browser of your choice. Running an applet in a web browser can be slower than using the Applet Viewer because it has to start-up. However, before deploying your applet, you should verify that it displays in external browsers.

To configure the applet executor:

  1. From the main window, choose Project Settings.

  2. In the Project Settings window, expand the Execution Types node and select Applet Execution.

  3. In the Properties tab, modify the values to your preferred settings.
    External Viewer The command the executor calls to launch the applet. You can launch an applet in the applet viewer associated with the IDE or in a web browser of your choice. Clicking the ellipsis button (...) opens the Property Editor dialog box, which can help you define the process and its arguments.
    Identifying Name The name that the IDE uses to identify this executor type. This name appears under the Execution Types node (and elsewhere in the IDE). Classes do not register name changes of executor types. If you change this property, any class that used the executor will revert to using the default executor.
When you reconfigure the applet executor, your changes affect all classes that use that executor.
