Configuring General Java Settings
See Also
Use the Java Sources node in the Options window to set general behavior properties for the IDE when editing Java source files.
The Java Sources node has a subnode enabling you to configure method generation when using the Override Methods feature.
- From the main window, choose Tools > Options and click Advanced Options.
- In the left pane, expand the Editing node and select Java Sources.
- Set properties as desired in the right pane of the window.
Properties
- Automatic Parsing Delay. Specifies the time (in milliseconds)
between a pause in typing or moving around in the Source Editor and the time
that internal parsing information is refreshed. The default is two seconds.
The IDE uses the internal parser to automatically update information about
the current Java source file.
You can disable automatic parsing by setting this property to zero. If
this property is disabled, a Java file is parsed only when the file is saved
or compiled.
- Error Annotation Limit. Sets the amount of errors that are highlighted
in the Source Editor for each open file. Set this property to zero to disable
error annotation for Java files.
- Strings Table. Specifies the _USER_ macro in templates
and enables you to create your own macros for use in templates.
- Show Compile Status. When selected, the compile status badge
(
)
is displayed on the node for a Javaclass file when that file needs to be compiled.
- Show Overriding Sign. When selected, the overriding/implementing sign is displayed in the Source Editor.
