Home Options

Before certain feature are available, BugSeeker needs to know the locations of various home directories so that it will be able to find and use any required files and resources. This option panel allows you to configure these installation home locations.

BugSeeker Installation Home

The BugSeeker base installation directory needs to be entered here so that BugSeeker will be able to locate the online help HTML files. When the base installation directory is supplied and help is requested, BugSeeker will attempt to launch your platform's default web browser to view these HTML help files. However, because this is a system-specific operation, accessing help contents may not be possible from within BugSeeker. To workaround this problem you will need to access the help contents manually by using your web browser by directing your file to the index.html start page in the manual subdirectory of the BugSeeker installation home location.

JSWDK Installation Home

Project's whose project type is Servlet will use Sun's Java Server Web Development Kit's (JSWDK) test web server to launch your servlets. However, before BugSeeker can run projects that use this configuration, you will need to enter the base JSWDK installation home directory so that BugSeeker can load the appropriate files when starting the test web server.

If you do not have the JSWDK installed on your computer, you will need to separate download the JSWDK from http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/ and install it yourself. The latest JSWDK version as of this writing was Version 1.0.1.
