Applet Debugger
The Applet module might not be available in your version of the IDE. If it
is available, you will see an option to create an Applet under the
Classes category in the New wizard. You can enable the Applet module
by choosing Tools
Update Center.
The applet debugger is the default debugger for applets you create
using the IDE's applet template.
To view or change the properties of the applet debugger, open the
Options window, expand Debugging and Execution
Debugger Types and select Applet Debugging. When you change the value of a property, your
change affects all files that use the applet debugger.
The Properties tab of the applet debugger contains the following properties:
- Classic Switch.
If True, uses the Java Classic virtual machine. If False, uses the
Java HotSpot virtual machine.
- External Process.
Sets the path to the external process that the IDE uses
to start the
execution environment. Click the ellipsis (...) button to browse to a new executable or to configure the arguments. You can use any of the variables listed under the Argument Key.
- Identifying Name.
Specifies the name that the IDE uses to identify this debugger type.
The default value is Applet Debugging.
- Implementation.
Specifies the Java debugger implementation to run. See Configuring the Debugger for a description of the Java debugger implementations.
The Expert tab of the applet debugger contains the following properties:
- Boot Class Path.
Specifies the path to the Java system libraries that the IDE uses when debugging programs. By default the IDE uses the default Java platform to debug sources. For information on specifying the boot class path,
see Setting the Boot Class Path for Debugging.
- Class Path.
Specifies the path to the sources that the IDE uses. By default the IDE uses its internal class path, which includes all mounted filesystems and various directories in the IDE's installation and user directories . The IDE ignores your CLASSPATH environment variable.
- Filesystems Path.
Specifies the path for all directories and JARs in the filesystem.
- Library Path.
Specifies the class path containing the libraries and modules that the IDE uses.
- Working Directory.
Specifies the directory in which to start the process. If this value is
not set, the IDE's own working directory is used. This feature
is available with J2SE software version 1.3 and compatible.
