You use this page of the
Options dialog box to modify settings that determine how Stylus Studio works with your JVM.
To display the
Options dialog box, select
Tools >
Options from the Stylus Studio menu.
Fields
Classpath
Classpath used by JVM in the context of Stylus Studio. To add a directory or
.jar
file to this classpath, click
Browse to the right of the field. For Stylus Studio to be able to find a Java class, its location must be specified in this classpath.
This value does not affect the
CLASSPATH
environment variable. The default value,
$(classpath)
, specifies that you want to use the contents of the
CLASSPATH
environment variable. There is no requirement for this classpath and the classpath used by the Stylus Studio Java compiler to be identical. However, it is good practice for them to be the same.
Enable JVM
Indicates whether Stylus Studio loads a JVM. If you do not need a JVM, you can disable this option so that Stylus Studio requires less memory.
Runtime Library
Path for the JVM run-time library. To specify an alternate location, type a new path or click
Browse
to the right of the field.
Parameters
Parameters for starting the JVM in the context of Stylus Studio. As a rule, you should never change the default value. This option exists for situations in which there is an unusual configuration. In such situations, Technical Support might instruct you to change this value.
JDK
Home directory
Home directory of the JDK installed on your system.
Java compiler
Location of the Java compiler,
javac.exe
.
Parameters
Command-line options for the Java compiler.
External JVM
Command line
Location of the JVM you want Stylus Studio to use. To change the location, type a path in the field or click
Browse to the right of the field.
Parameters
Parameters for starting the external JVM. As a rule, you should never change the default value. This option exists for situations in which there is an unusual configuration. In such situations, Technical Support might instruct you to change this value.

Auto detect
If you modify the Stylus Studio
Java Virtual Machine options and then decide you want to return to the default values, click
