Setting the Java VM Using the -vm ParameterLocate this document in the navigation structure

With the installation of the Developer Studio a Java VM is assigned to the start link. If this Java VM is installed on your PC, you only need to specify the new path using the argument -vm.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Click the corresponding desktop shortcut using the right mouse button and subsequently choose Properties from the context menu.
  2. Choose the Shortcut tab.
  3. Under Target, add the argument -vm <vm_location> to the command line, or modify the location when the-vm argument already exists.
    Note 
    ...SapNetWeaverDeveloperStudio.exe -vm
							"C:\jdk1.5\bin\javaw.exe"...
    Note

    You have to specify a javaw.exe from Java SE Development Kit.(JDK). If you specify a javaw.exe from a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) you will get a warning at startup of the Developer Studio that JDK is required.

    The installation guide of the Developer Studio contains information which JDK versions are recommended.

  4. Choose OK to confirm.
