The Run page of the Project Properties dialog box displays runtime configurations. Runtime configurations are preset runtime parameters. Using the preset parameters saves you time when running, debugging, and optimizing. All runtime configurations for the active file are available in the Run menu. If there is only one appropriate configuration, it's available in the Run menu by the pertinent command (i.e., Run|Debug "File.java" using "Config 1"). If there is more than one configuration for that file type, they appear in a submenu next to the pertinent command (i.e., Run|Debug "File.java"|Use "Config 1", Use "Config 2").
This dialog box is for defining and editing configurations only. Once you have a runtime configuration, run the file or program by one of the following means:
Having multiple runtime configurations is a feature of JBuilder SE and Enterprise.
If you have only one configuration, JBuilder automatically uses that one as the default configuration. If you have more than one configuration, you can specify which configuration is the default. Only one configuration is possible in JBuilder Personal -- however, the runtime parameters for it are fully editable. If you have no configurations at all for a project, then, when you try to run, JBuilder prompts you to create a configuration before running.
This is a feature of JBuilder SE and Enterprise. When you have multiple configurations, you can choose to have no default. When you run without a default configuration, JBuilder prompts you to choose a runtime configuration from the list of existing configurations.
Choose Project|Project Properties and click the Run tab to manage runtime configurations. You can also access the Run page directly by choosing Run|Configurations.
Note: Optimize features are only available when you have Optimizeit installed.
The list of existing configurations. This table has several columns, noted below.
Check a configuration to set it as the default runtime configuration. Only one configuration at a time may be checked.
Check a configuration to make it appear in the appropriate Run, Debug, and Optimize menus. There are several places where it will appear:
All configurations are listed in the drop-down menus next to the Run, Debug, and Optimize icons on the main toolbar, regardless of whether or not they're checked in the Context Menu column.
Identifies the type of runner the configuration is. For instance, an application runner is of the Application type.
Displays the name of the configuration. You can use the name to describe the intended purpose of the configuration.
Displays the Run page, Debug page, and Optimize page of the Runtime Properties dialog box, where you create a new configuration.
Only available when a configuration is selected. Copies the parameters of a selected configuration into a new configuration, allowing you to create a new configuration based on an existing one.
Only available when a configuration is selected. Displays the Run page, Debug page, and Optimize page of the Runtime Properties dialog box, where you edit the existing configuration.
Removes the selected configuration.
Moves the selected configuration up in the list.
Moves the selected configuration down in the list.
Saves any modifications to the runtime configurations. Does not run the file or program -- see the top of this page for ways to access the Run command.
