Specifying the Default Executor

The IDE comes with a set of executors that suit most development needs. One executor is selected as the default executor. The default executor is used for all classes and templates for which you have not specifically assigned an executor type. At startup, the default executor is the external executor.

To change the default executor:

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

    The change affects all files and templates for which you have not specifically assigned an executor type.

To specify the default executor for a class:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the runnable Java object and choose Properties.
  2. In the Properties window, click the Execution tab.
  3. Click the value for the Executor property and select the desired executor from the combo box.

    This file is not affected when you change the default executor in the Options window.
