Available JDK Versions dialog box

The Available JDK Versions dialog box sets up the items in the Target JDK Versions drop-down list on the Paths page of the Project Properties dialog box. You use this dialog box to define a list of available JDKs. The JDK versions you define must be installed locally.

To display this dialog box, click the Define button on the Paths page of the Project Properties dialog box.

JDK Versions

The list of already-defined JDK Versions. A version is defined when all four edit fields contain data.

To see an example of a defined JDK, select the JDK that shipped with JBuilder. Notice that the path to JAVA.EXE and the source path reside in the same directory tree. When you add new JDK versions, you can follow this same directory structure.

Path of JAVA.EXE

The path to the Java executable. Note that the file name, java.exe, must be included in the path name. Different versions of the executable must be placed in separate directories.

Class Path

The path that contains all the classes in the specified JDK version. Files can be in a .jar file. Note that this Class Path forms part of the Class Path that the JBuilder compiler uses.

This path can point to more than one directory.

Source Path

The path that contains the sources for the specified JDK version. Sources can be zipped into a .zip file.

This path can point to more than one directory.

Doc Path

The path that contains the HTML files for the JDK reference documentation. This allows reference documentation to be displayed in the Doc pane.

This path can point to more than one directory.

Delete

Deletes the item selected in the JDK Versions list. You cannot delete the version that shipped with JBuilder. No warning message is displayed before a deletion.

Edit

Allows you to edit the item selected in the JDK Versions list. You cannot edit the target version that shipped with JBuilder.
