Adding and modifying service types
Forte for Java, Community Edition provides editable service types to give you more control over how your applications are compiled, executed, and debugged. These service types specify not only which compiler, executor, or debugger to use but also how the service is to be called (what the path to Java is, what arguments are used, and so on).
The IDE comes with a set of default service types which suit most development tasks. A compiler type, executor, and debugger type is assigned to each class by default. You can set service types for each class individually on its property sheet.
You can also modify the existing service types and create new ones. For example, the default service type for external execution of applications may not suit every one of your classes, so you may want to have multiple execution service types (or "executors"). You can create a new execution type for external execution, and use this executor for some of your classes while you use the default executor for other classes.
Service types are represented as subnodes under the various categories of
Compiler Types
,Debugger Types
, andExecution Types
in the Project Settings window.
