Setting Compiler Options

The IDE comes with a set of compilers that suit most development needs. Each compiler contains properties that affect how it generates code, such as whether to generate debugging information and which libraries to use. You can view the available compilers and configure their properties in the Options window. The compiler types are listed under the Compiler Types subnode of the Building node.

One compiler type is selected as the default compiler. You can view the default compiler by opening the Options window, expanding the Editing node, and selecting Java Sources. The external compiler is the default compiler for most projects and source files.

For information on the compiler types and their properties, see:
