Directories

---

The Directories page contains the following fields.

• Installation Directory for Simplicity Professional This is the directory where Simplicity Professional's core files are stored. You cannot change this information here.
  Example: C:\Simplicity
• Personal Settings Directory This is the directory where the information that Simplicity Professional creates about projects will be stored. The personal settings file and other files that Simplicity Professional needs will also be stored here. You cannot change this information here.
  Example: C:\Simplicity\.simplicity
  See page 6 for more details.
• Overide Built-in Java Compiler If this field is left blank, then Simplicity Professional will attempt to use the Java compiler which is built into your platform's Java Development kit. The user can override this behavior to use a different compiler by specifying a command here. For most purposes it is preferable to leave this field blank.
  Example: C:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin\javac.exe
• Overide Built-in JDB Debugger If this field is left blank, then Simplicity Professional will attempt to use the JDB debugger which is built into your platform's Java Development kit. The user can override this behavior to use a different JDB-compatible debugger by specifying a command here. In most cases this field should be left blank, as the debugger is very sensitive to different environments.
• Show Opening Dialog If checked, a welcome screen will appear when Simplicity Professional is first started, presenting the user with three choices: Open an existing project, create a new project, or view the tutorials.
• Console Font This option allows the user to set the font used in the Java Console. The default is "Monospaced, 12 pt.". A monospaced font is recommended to make compiler error messages look better, but the user may choose any font they wish.
