External Process Property Editor for Executors

The External Process property editor for execution types enables you to set the java executable and arguments that an execution type uses. You can open the property editor by selecting the desired execution type in the Options window, selecting the External Process property, and clicking the property's ellipsis (...) button. The External Process property is not available for the internal executor.

The Process field lists the location of the java executable. By default this is the executable shipped with the IDE's default JDK. If you want to execute programs with a different JDK, click the ellipsis button to navigate to the target JDK's java executable.

The Arguments field lists the arguments that the execution type passes to the executable each time it is used. The command is a list of variables that are resolved at execution time. For example, if you used the Set Arguments command to set arguments for a class, the {arguments} variable is replaced with the specified arguments when the class is executed with this execution type. The Argument Key section provides a description of the variables.
