Command-Line Parameters

Start your finished application by a operating system-specific launcher which is provided by the NetBeans Platform. This launcher is an .exe file for the Windows operating system, for example. You can influence this launcher and thus the start and the execution of the application by a series of parameters. Note that you either use a double back slash or a single slash for all paths. Command-line parameters are listed in Table 35-1.

Overview of Parameters

You can define and pass those parameters either directly to the launcher or via the etc/<branding name>.conf file which is located in the distribution of the application. There you can determine any options via the default_options attribute. Furthermore, you can separately assign the path of the Java Platform, the user directory, and additional clusters in this file.
