Java compiler path

Specifies the path to the Java compiler. If left blank, Jurtle will invoke the javac compiler in the default Java SDK you are using. However, if desired, you may specify an alternate path to different Java compiler.

Java compiler option string

Use this field to pass various compiler options to the javac compiler. For example entering "-source 1.4" will tell the compiler to accept code containing assertions. Assertions were introduced in J2SE 1.4. The full set of compiler options available can be found in the Java SDK documentation.

LeJOS Tab

Enable LeJOS

When this checkbox is checked, a Use LeJOS checkbox will appear at the top right of the main window. The Use LeJOS checkbox will allow easy switching between the compilation and running of LeJOS code and normal Java code.

LeJOS installation path

If the Enable LeJOS checkbox is checked, this field must contain the full path to the LeJOS directory on your system.

Tower port

This drop-down list allows you to specify which port on your computer has the MindStorms tower plugged into it.

Revert to Default Setting

If this option is checked when the OK button is clicked, Jurtle will revert to its default settings.

Administrative Preferences:

The above Preferences are stored individually for each user. In Jurtle there are two Preference settings which are system wide. To configure these, edit the file called AdminPreferences found in the Jurtle installation directory. Uncomment the appropriate line by deleting the # at the start of the line and replace the text to the right of the “=” sign with the appropriate information. See the AdminPreferences file for more information.

workspaceDirectory={path to the directory Jurtle uses for its Workspace}
