[Drjava-users] Stopping execution? Setting class path in DrJava

[Mark G. <gu...@cc...>]

If one has runaway code (e.g., infinite loop) in DrJava, is there any way 
to stop it (short of aborting the application)?

Setting the class path in DrJava from the Preferences is great -- no 
messing with system/shell variables!  But we have had a few interface 
problems with it:
- I found that I have to select the folder that I want to include from the 
parent folder.  If I enter the desired folder and then select the folder, 
the folder name appears twice in a non-existent path, e.g., "C:\Documents 
and Settings\Mark Guzdial\My Documents\java-code\java-code"
- I have found strange behavior (and maybe this is just Java and not 
DrJava) in that sometimes, I can choose the folder where the .jar files 
live, and other times, I have to select the specific .jar files.  For 
example, I am using the JMusic package with DrJava.  I had to exactly 
specify "D:\jmusic\jmusic.jar" to get DrJava to find the jmusic.jar file, 
but the instruments were find-able with "D:\jmusic\inst\"  I haven't 
figured out when I need to do each.

Thanks!
