Specifying the Default Compiler

The IDE comes with a set of compilers that suit most development needs. One compiler type is selected as the default. For most projects and source files, the default compiler is the external compiler.

To change the default compiler for a 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 Compiler property, click its value, and choose a compiler from the combo box.

    The change affects all classes and templates for which you have not specifically assigned a compiler type.

To change the default compiler for a file:

  1. Right-click the file in the Explorer and choose Properties
  2. In the Properties window, click the Execution tab.
  3. Click the value for the Compiler property and choose a compiler from the combo box.

    This file is not affected when you change the default compiler for the project that the file is in.
