Application

The following parameters apply to the Java application:

• Main application class. The name of the Java class which is the application entry point. This class must have a main() method. This field is required.
• Static application arguments. Static arguments are always passed to main() if present. They are silently prepended to the default application arguments (or user arguments).
• Default application arguments. The default arguments to pass to main(). These arguments will be replaced by arguments entered directly from the command-line, if any.
• Working directory. The default working directory is the directory where the EXE resides. This parameter allows you to change the working directory. For example, if your program creates a log file, that log file will be created in the working directory.
• Use current directory. If you select this option, the working directory will be set to the current directory. For example, if the EXE resides in C:\Program Files\MyApp, but the user starts the EXE in C:\My Documents, then the working directory is C:\My Documents. This is useful for applications which must process files in the current directory eg. a utility that automatically creates thumbnails for all JPEG files in the current directory.
• Set runtime and classpath relative to working directory. By default, the working directory does not affect the runtime and classpath i.e. the JVM DLL and the classpath will still be relative to the EXE directory, even if the working directory is changed. However, setting this option will cause the runtime and classpath to be relative to the working directory instead.
• Application configuration file. This allows you to specify the filename of a configuration file from which parameters will be read when the executable is run. The configuration file has the following format:
  
  

  [Application Configuration]
  JvmOptions = -Xmx8m -Xmx32m
  StdOutFile = stdout.log
  StdErrFile = stderr.log
  

  This allows you to modify the runtime characteristics of your program without regenerating the executable. Currently, the following parameters are supported:
  
  

  JvmOptions	Options to pass to the JVM.
  AppOptions	Arguments to pass to the Java application.
  StaticOptions	Static arguments to pass to the Java application.
  StdOutFile	Override executable defaults and redirect stdout to a specified file. This can be the same as StdErrFile.
  StdErrFile	Override executable defaults and redirect stderr to a specified file. This can be the same as StdOutFile.
  ShowConsole	"1" displays a console window for GUI applications, while "0" removes the console window. This option overrides any executable defaults. It also overrides StdOutFile and StdErrFile if set to "1". It has no effect on console applications.

  
  If you are not using a configuration file, simply leave the field blank.
  
  Note that the configuration file will always be relative to the executable directory, regardless of the working directory setting. You can specify a subdirectory for the configuration file eg. conf\myapp.ini.
• Allow multiple instances of the application? Applies to GUI applications only. Specifies whether to allow multiple instances of the sample application. If Yes, the executable will display an error message on startup if it detects that another instance of itself is already running in the system.
