Setting the Launcher for a project

Each individual Java project is associated with a launcher, which handles the details of launching a Java program in particular circumstances. For example, a different launcher is required to debug a program that is running on a local machine as opposed to debugging the same program running on a remote machine.

If no launcher is set for a project, you will be prompted for one every time you launch any program contained in it.

1.

In the Packages view, select the project.

2.

From its context menu, select Properties.

3.

Select the Launcher page.

4.

In the Run/Debug list, choose the launcher that you want to associate with this project.

5.

Click OK when you are done.

Every time you launch a Java program in the selected project, this launcher will be used.
