Local session

If the session type in the application settings dialog is set to "Local", the following settings are displayed in the middle part of the dialog:

Java VM
Choose the Java VM to run your application. Java VMs are configured on the "Java VMs" tab of JProfiler's general settings which are accessible by clicking the [General settings] button on the bottom of the dialog.
Working directory
Choose the directory in which your java process will be started either manually or by clicking on the [...] button to bring up a file chooser. As long as you have not selected a particular directory, this option is set to [startup directory] which means that JProfiler's startup directory will also be your application's working directory.
VM arguments
If your application needs virtual machine arguments of the form -Dproperty=value, you can enter them here. Parameters that contain spaces must be surrounded with double quotes (like "-Dparam=a parameter with spaces").
Main class or executable JAR
Enter the fully qualified name of your main class or the path to an executable JAR file here. If you enter a main class, it has to be contained in either in the default class path or in the additional class path (see above).
Clicking on the [...] button brings up menu that lets you
- Search the classpath
  If you have already configured your classpath, this option will search for classes with a main method and present them in the main class selection dialog.
- Browse for an executable JAR file
  This brings up a file chooser where you can select an executable JAR file.
- Browser for a .class file
  This brings up a file chooser where you can select the *.class file of the desired main class. A dialog box will ask you whether to add the associated class path root directory to the class path.
Arguments
This is the place to enter any arguments you want to supply to the main class of your application. Arguments that contain spaces must be surrounded with double quotes (like "a parameter with spaces").
