[Bluej-discuss] tools.jar

[Davin McCall]

Hi Denis,

If all you're trying to do is set the http.proxyHost/http.proxyPort
properties, or any other properties for that matter, there is now a much
better way of doing it: edit the bluej.defs file and change the
"bluej.windows.vm.args" property (you need to uncomment it as well, i.e.
remove the '#' at the beginning of the line).

Then, you can use the original bluej.exe launcher.

More info on editing bluej.defs here:
http://www.bluej.org/help/archive.html#tip4

Is that a suitable solution? Otherwise, what exactly do you mean when you say you could neither create nor open a project - what prevented you from doing so, did the file dialogs not appear, did you get an error message, did BlueJ exit before you could do anything etc?
