Abstract

 This part describes the external tools dialog of EJE™ .

A tool is any external application, which can be integrated into EJE™ . We decide between shell applications and window based applications. Shell-based applications write their output the shell area in the current editor.

Example: You may define javadoc as an external application, or integrate jdb as a debugger. (see examples )

To add a tool press the add button. Select a tool and press edit or delete to change or remove a tool. Press Save Settings to save your changes or cancel to abort.
