| NetBeans uses a small interface to describe the <em>execution</em> |
| |
| of Java-based classes together with arguments. |
| |
| <p>The <a href="doc-files/api.html"><b>Execution API</b></a> may be |
| used both to invoke the preexisting (internal and external) executors, |
| and to create custom ones. Running processes may be halted, their exit |
| status may be obtained, and their I/O streams will be displayed. |
| |
| <p>The API, in conjunction with the Datasystems API, also supports |
| association of a specific executor to a given class (file), which can |
| be used to provide special execution support for objects such as |
| applets or servlets. |
