Using Sun WorkShop

Reviewing and Overriding Environment Variables

An environment variable definition that appears in the Persistent Environment Variables list overrides any environment variable with the same name that appears in the current WorkShop process environment.

To review the current WorkShop process environment variable definitions, click More to open the Current Environment list, which includes all the environment variables that are currently defined in the WorkShop process environment. You can filter the list using the Filter text box.

To override the value of an environment variable:

  1. Select an environment variable in the Current Environment list.

  2. Click <<Add to add the environment variable to the Persistent Environment Variables list.

  3. Type a new value in the Value text box and click Change.

  4. Click OK to establish the change and close the dialog box.

    The environment variable definition in the Persistent Environment Variables list overrides the environment variable definition in the current WorkShop process environment, and is saved with your WorkSet.

  5. Click Build in the Edit Target dialog box to start the build with the new values.
