Defining a New Executor Type

If the executors provided with the IDE do not suit your development tasks, you can define a new executor type and use it for your project. The new executor can call a new process or an existing process with different property settings.

To define a new executor type:

  1. From the main window, choose Project Settings.
  2. In the Project Settings window, right-click the Execution Types node and choose New executor service (External, Internal, Applet, or JSP).
  3. Expand the Execution Types node and select the executor service you just created.
  4. In the Properties pane of the Project Settings window, modify the Identifying Name property so that the executor has a distinct name.
  5. Modify the other properties to your preferred settings.
  6. To use the new executor for your project, select the Java Sources node in the Project Settings window and set the Default Executor property to the executor type.
The IDE creates a new executor with basic property settings. To create a new executor with an existing executor's properties, right-click the existing executor in the Project Settings window and choose Copy. Then right-click the Execution Types node and choose Paste.
