Specifying the Default Debugger

See Also

The default debugger is used for all classes and templates for which you have not specifically assigned a debugger type. At startup, the default debugger is the JPDA if you are running the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, SDK 1.3 or 1.4.

To change the default debugger:

  1. From the main menu, choose Tools and choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, expand the Editing node.
  3. Select the Java Sources node.
  4. On the Properties tab, find the Default Debugger property, click its value, and select a debugger type from the combo box.

    The change affects all files and templates for which you have not specifically assigned a debugger type.

To assign a debugger type to a file:

  1. Right-click the file in the Explorer and choose Properties.
  2. In the Properties window, click the Execution tab.
  3. Click the value for the Debugger property and select a debugger type from the combo box.

    This file is not affected when you change the default debugger in the Options window.
