Preferences - VA Assist - Obsolete

Windows Only - Deprecated in Codepro 4.0

This page is used to control various VA Assist integration options.

Enable communication between CodePro and VA Assist

This option causes a socket communication session to be established between CodePro and VA Assist (running in VA Java) at startup. This is required in order to use the "Edit GUI" or "Edit BeanInfo" commands or support live synchronization from VA Java. Live synchronization with VA Java can be enabled or disabled via the "Live synchronization" option. The "Log all communication" option controls whether communication between CodePro and VA Assist is logged to the CodePro log.

Turn this option off to improve startup performance.

Root Directory

In order to use the "Edit GUI" or "Edit BeanInfo" commands, CodePro needs to drive VA Java in "slave" mode. In order to do that, it needs to know which version of VA Java you would like to start. Enter the location of your VA Java root directory into this field.

Automatically launch VisualAge for Java as necessary

In order to use the "Edit GUI" or "Edit BeanInfo" commands, CodePro needs to drive VA Java in "slave" mode. This option controls whether VA Java will be automatically started or not.

Shutdown Options

Any time that CodePro starts up VA Java in slave mode, it can shut down VA Java when Application Developer/Eclipse is shut down. Options are provided to shut down VA Java with or without saving the VA Java workspace, with prompting or not at all.
