Setting EGL test server preferences

You can set EGL preferences for every project-specific test server.

For an overview, see EGL test server.

To set the preferences, do as follows:

  1. From the main menu, click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window is displayed.
  2. In the Preferences menu, expand EGL and click Test Server. The Test Server pane is displayed.
  3. If you check the first check box (Show tracing messages in the console view), the Console view displays noncritical messages as work is done by the EGL test server. In any case, the Console view displays error messages that come from the test server.
  4. In the first radio group, click a button to indicate how the test server will respond when the server classpath changes:
    • Prompt (the default) causes the server to prompt you for direction.
    • Do nothing means that the changes do not take effect until you terminate the server and then access another service in the workbench.
    • Terminate server causes the server to stop running until you access another service in the workbench.
  5. For Hot Code Replace, click a button for each of several outcomes that occur after you try a hot code replace in the EGL debugger. Your choices and the default in each case are as described in the previous step. Here are the outcomes:
    • When the replace fails, and the debugger continues as if you had not changed the code.
    • When the replace is not supported, and the debugger continues as if you had not changed the code.
    • When obsolete methods remain on the stack. In this case, the debugger’s behavior is unpredictable.
  6. To save the changes and remain in the Preferences window, click Apply. To save the changes and exit the window, click OK. To cancel the changes and exit the window, click Cancel.
