If the session type in the application settings
is set to "Application", the following settings are displayed in the middle part of the dialog:
Java VM
Choose the Java VM to run your application. Java VMs are configured
on the "Java VMs" tab
of JProfiler's general settings
which are accessible by clicking the
[General settings] button on the bottom of the dialog.
Working directory
Choose the directory in which your java process will be started either
manually or by clicking on the [...] button to bring up a file chooser.
As long as you have not selected a particular directory, this option is set to
[startup directory] which means that JProfiler's startup
directory will also be your application's working directory.
VM arguments
If your application needs virtual machine arguments of the form
-Dproperty=value, you can enter them here. Parameters that contain spaces
must be surrounded with double quotes (like "-Dparam=a parameter with spaces").
Main class or executable JAR
Enter the fully qualified name of your main class or the path to an executable JAR
file here. If you enter a main class, it has to be contained in class path (see above).
Clicking on the [...] button brings up menu that lets you
Search the classpath
If you have already configured your classpath, this option will search for
classes with a main method and present them in the
main class selection dialog.
Browse for an executable JAR file
This brings up a file chooser where you can select an executable JAR file. If the JAR file
has a Class-Path manifest entry, you will be asked whether the class path should be replaced
with the contents of that attribute. Also, the working directory will be set to the
parent directory of the executable JAR file after a confirmation.
Browser for a .class file
This brings up a file chooser where you can select the *.class file
of the desired main class. A dialog box will ask you whether to add the associated class
path root directory to the class path.
Arguments
This is the place to enter any arguments you want to supply to the main class
of your application. Arguments that contain spaces
must be surrounded with double quotes (like "a parameter with spaces").
Open browser with URL
If you would like to open a browser window along with the session, please select this checkbox
and enter the URL in the adjacent text field. JProfiler polls this URL until it becomes available,
only then is the browser opened. Please set the
browser start command if you're
working on a UNIX platform.
