Launch configuration

Here is how to configure your development environment.

Kobalt's main class is com.beust.kobalt.MainKt. Here is a typical launch configuration:

A few observations:

• You can ask Kobalt to build external projects by specifying a non-empty "Working Directory".
• The default log level is 1. 2 is useful for debugging and 3 will be extremely verbose.
• Another command line parameter worth of notice is --dev, which will add the class name and thread information to each log line.
• Checking the "Single instance" box is useful to avoid duplicating these launch configurations.
