You can pass startup parameters to the IDE launcher using the ${IDE_HOME>/bin/ide.cfg file. The launcher tries to read this file before it starts parsing the command line options. You can break the options into multiple lines.
The following options are available:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
-h -help |
Print descriptions of common startup parameters. |
-jdkhome jdk_home_dir |
Use the specified version of the Java(TM) 2 SDK instead of the default SDK. By default on Windows systems, the loader looks into the Windows registry and uses the latest SDK available. |
-classic | use the classic JVM, instead of the default Java HotSpot Client VM. |
-cp:p additional_classpath | Prepend the specified classpath to the IDE's classpath. |
-cp:a additional_classpath | Append the specified classpath to the IDE's classpath. |
-Jjvm_flags | Pass the specified flags directly to the JVM. |
-ui UI_class_name | Selects the given class as the IDE's look and feel.
The following are two examples of look and feel classes:
|
-fontsize size | Sets the font size, expressed in points, in the IDE's user interface. If this option is not used, the fontsize is 11 points. |
-locale language[:country[:variant]] | Use the specified locale. |
-userdir userdir | Explicitly specify the user directory, which is the location where user settings are stored. If this option is not used on UNIX, the location is ${HOME}/nbuser33. On Microsoft Windows systems, the launcher asks the user to specify the userdir and stores the value in the registry for later use. |
