Creating a StreamIt application launch configuration

 

When you choose Run > Run As > StreamIt Application to launch your StreamIt file, you are running your file using a generic StreamIt Application launch configuration that derives most of the launch parameters from your StreamIt project and your workbench preferences.  In some cases, you will want to override the derived parameters or specify additional arguments.

 

You do this by creating your own StreamIt Application launch configuration.

 

  1. Select Run > Run... or Run > Debug... from the workbench menu bar.  This opens a dialog that lets you create, modify, and delete launch configurations of different types.
  2. Select StreamIt Application in the left hand list of launch configuration types, and press New. This will create a new launch configuration for a StreamIt application. The tabs on the right hand side allow you control specific aspects of the launch.

 

·         The Main tab defines the file to be launched. Enter the name of the project containing the file to launch in the project field, and the fully qualified name of the pipeline in the Main class field.

·         The Arguments tab defines the arguments to be passed to the application and to the virtual machine (if any). You can also specify the working directory to be used by the launched application.

·         The JRE tab defines the JRE used to run or debug the application.  You can select a JRE from the already defined JREs, or define a new JRE.

·         The Classpath tab defines the location of class files used when running or debugging an application.  By default, the user and bootstrap class locations are derived from the associated project’s build path.  You may override these settings here.

·         The Source tab defines the location of source files used to display source when debugging a StreamIt application.  By default, these settings are derived from the associated project's build path.  You may override these settings here.

·         The Common tab defines general information about the launch configuration.  You may choose to store the launch configuration in a specific file and specify which perspectives become active when the launch configuration is launched.
