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 as your default executor. The new executor type 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 Tools and choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, expand the Debugging and Executing node.
  3. Right-click the Execution Types node and choose New and choose executor service.
  4. In the wizard, type a name for the executor and click Finish.
  5. Expand the Execution Types node and select the executor service you just created.
  6. On the Properties tab, modify the properties to your preferred settings.
Tip The IDE creates a new executor type with basic property settings. To create a new executor type with an existing executor's properties, right-click the existing executor type in the Options window and choose Copy. Then right-click the Executor Types node and choose Paste and choose Copy.

To make the new executor type the default executor:

  1. In the Options window, expand the Editing node.
  2. Select the Java Sources node.
  3. On the Properties tab, find the Default Executor property, click its value, and choose the new executor from the combo box.

    The new executor type is assigned to all files and templates for which you have not specifically assigned a executor type.
