Run/Debug Configuration: CloudBees Server

Name field and Share option

Item	Description
Name	Use this field to edit the name of the run/debug configuration. This field is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults.
Share	Select this check box to make the run/debug configuration available to other team members. If the directory-based project format is used, the settings for a run/debug configuration are stored in a separate xml file in the .idea\runConfigurations folder if the run/debug configuration is shared and in the .idea\workspace.xml file otherwise. If the file-based format is used, the settings are stored in the .ipr file for shared configurations or in the .iws file for the ones that are not shared. This check box is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults.

Server tab

Item	Local/Remote	Description
Application server	Remote	Select the server configuration to be used. Click Configure to create a new server configuration or edit an existing one. (The Application Servers dialog will open.) For local CloudBees run/debug configurations, the server configuration is not specified; the Tomcat instance embedded in CloudBees is used. This Tomcat instance is included in CloudBees client libraries which IntelliJ IDEA can download for you.
Start browser	Both	Select this check box to run the default Web browser to study your application output there.
With JavaScript debugger	Both	If this check box is selected, the Web browser is started with the JavaScript debugger enabled. Note JavaScript debugging is available only for Firefox and Google Chrome. Note that when you debug your JavaScript in Firefox for the first time, the JetBrains Firefox extension will be installed.
Startup page	Both	In this field, specify the URL the browser should go to when started. In most typical cases, this URL will correspond to the root of your Web application or its starting page.
VM options	Local	If necessary, specify the command-line options to be passed to the server JVM at the server start. If you need more room to type, click next to the field to open the VM Options dialog where the text entry area is larger. When specifying the options, follow these rules: Use spaces to separate individual options, for example, -client -ea -Xmx1024m. If an option includes spaces, enclose the spaces or the argument that contains the spaces in double quotes, for example, some" "arg or "some arg". If an option includes double quotes (e.g. as part of the argument), escape the double quotes by means of the backslashes, for example, -Dmy.prop=\"quoted_value\".
On 'Update' action	Both	Select the necessary option for the Update application action. Hot swap classes. Changed classes will be recompiled and reloaded at runtime. Note that this option will work only in the debug mode. Redeploy. The overall application will be rebuilt and redeployed. Restart server. The server will be restarted. The application will be rebuilt and deployed at the server startup. (This option is not available for remote run configurations.)
Show dialog	Both	Select this check box if you want to see the Update <application name> dialog every time you perform the Update application action. The Update <application name> dialog is used to view and change the current update option prior to actually updating the application.
On frame deactivation	Both	Specify which application update actions should be performed when switching from IntelliJ IDEA to a different application (for example, a Web browser). (Frame deactivation means switching to a different application.) If no update actions are required, select Do nothing. Otherwise, select the necessary update option. Note that the Redeploy an the Restart server options are not available.
HTTP port	Local	Specify the HTTP port of CloudBees.
JNDI port	Local	Specify the port to be used for exchanging the JNDI information with the server.
Remote connection settings	Remote	The settings for accessing deployed applications. For CloudBees, you don't need to specify any of these settings.
Host	Remote	For CloudBees, IntelliJ IDEA ignores this setting.
Port	Remote	For CloudBees, IntelliJ IDEA ignores this setting.

Deployment tab

Use this tab to specify which artifacts and/or external resources should be deployed onto the server. (An external resource means a deployable Web component such as a .war file which is not represented by a project artifact. Usually, such components are stored outside of the project scope.)

To add items to the deployment list (shown under Deploy at the server startup), use add . For more information, see the table below.
