Starting the FBEditor

The editor.ini File

This file contains parameter key/value pairs in a format suitable for reading with the java.util.Properties.load() method. The allowed parameter keys and values are given in the following table. If no value for a parameter is given in the editor.ini file, the default value applies. The default values shown are known to work with Ubuntu Linux. Different values for these parameters will need to be given for different Java™ Development Kit (JDK™) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installations in Windows operating systems.

The easiest way to customize these settings is to use the FBEditor's Preferences Dialog.
