Use the root page to configure general debugger options. Note that options listed here are not applicable when debugging remote processes.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Transport | Select transport for connection to the process. Available options are socket and shared memory, which is available for Windows systems only. |
| Force classic VM for JDK 1.3.x and earlier | Check this option to launch process to be debugged with classic VM.
Tip For some Java SDK's this check box is disabled, because the -classic option should be forced automatically, or when no classic VM is available at all. |
| Disable JIT | With this option you can control whether the -Djava.compiler=NONE parameter is specified when the application is launched. This parameter affects JIT compiler, and if the option is turned on, JIT compiler will be disabled. |
| Hide debug window on process termination | Automatically hide the Debug window when the debugged program terminates. |
| 10.0+ Focus on breakpoint | If this check box is selected, on hitting a breakpoint, IntelliJ IDEA will show the location of this breakpoint in the editor and will attempt to bring its frame to the front. |
