Always Debug With -Classic option

The Always Debug With -Classic option in the Configure JDKs dialog box provides improved performance for users with HotSpot JVM versions below 1.3.1. JBuilder automatically checks to see if this option will improve your performance, then checks or unchecks this box according to what will give you the best results.

In performing its evaluation, JBuilder performs two checks:

  1. Do you have the Classic VM?
  2. If present, is the JVM a version earlier than 1.3.1?

However, this selection is overridden when you define VM parameters such as native, hotspot, green, or server.
