Specifying the Default Debugger

The IDE comes with a set of debuggers that suit most development needs. One debugger type is selected as the default. The JPDA is the default debugger for most projects and files if you are running the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, SDK 1.3.

To change the default debugger 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 tab, find the Default Debugger property, click its value, and select a debugger from the combo box.

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

To change the default debugger for a class:

  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 Debugger property and select a debugger from the combo box.

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