Specifying the Default Executor for a Project

When you change the default executor for a project, the change affects all classes and templates for which you have not specifically assigned an executor type.

To specify the default executor for the current project:

  1. From the main window, choose Project Settings.

  2. In the Project Settings window, select the Java Sources node.

  3. In the Properties pane, find the Default Executor property, click its value, and select an 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 run the files in the project.

    The project uses the executor the next time it is run. If you assign an executor for a class individually (on the Execution tab of the class property editor), that class is no longer affected whenever you change the default executor.
