The IDE provides a set of executors
that suit most development needs. Each executor contains properties that affect
how the executor is called, such as which java
to use and
the directory in which to start the process.
You can view the available executors and configure their properties in
the Options window. The executor types
are listed under the Execution Types subnode of the
Debugging and Executing node.
Each class is assigned an executor by default. This enables you to use one executor for some files in your project and the default executor for others. For example, if a project is assigned the external executor, but one class requires an internal executor, you can change the executor for that class without affecting the other files in the project.
You can view the default executor by opening the Options window, expanding the Editing node, and selecting the Java Sources node. You can view the default executor for a class file by selecting the file in the Explorer and looking at the Executor property on the Execution tab of its property sheet.
