Inside Macintosh: Using JBindery

JBindery Features

Launching JBindery brings up a number of panels that contain information about the Java program you want to execute. To switch among the various panels, select any of the panel icons, which are displayed along the left side of any panel.

Many settings on the JBindery panels correspond to options used on operating systems that have a command line interface. For example, the options in the UNIX command line

 java MyClass -classpath myDirectory:MyClasses -Dbanana=yellow -verify

can be set in the Classpath, Properties, and Security panels in JBindery.

If you want to change the default settings that appear when you launch JBindery, you can do so by modifying the settings and selecting the Save Defaults menu item as shown in Figure 1-1.

The new default settings are stored in the file JBindery Prefs in the Preferences folder. You can restore the original default settings by throwing away the preferences file.
