Option Dialog Box

The options dialog box allows you to set The type of Compiler, Browser, and Interpreter that JEditor uses, it also allows the user to select a font, font style and size, and color of the editor window and text in that window.

Option Dialog Box

Setting the options in this dialog box is self explanatory, if you need to change any of the default settings for the Compiler, Interpreter or Browser settings, just type in the name of the file you want to use, into the appropriate box, or click on the browse button to find the appropriate program that way.
All new changes will take effect as soon as you press the Okay button.
As soon as you press the Okay button a .jeditor file is created in your Javas Home Directory. This file will be loaded up automatically the next time you run JEditor.

The Display using the Input Stream checkbox - Javac in SunSofts JDK1.1 sends error messages to the monitor display through a stream called the error stream, SunSofts JDK1.02 and other Compilers display the same information through a stream called the input stream. This checkbox will set JEditor to allow the other display method type to be used. Basically, if you know there is an error in your code, and JEditor doesn't display the error, or the compiler crashes JEditor, then you should check this box.

Other Notes :
The Compiler, Interpreter & Browser settings should be typed in as you would use them on the command line. This allows for flexibility as to how you want your particular program to perform its task.
