I am writing an app that uses an API which must have certain environment
variables set before it is run. Is there a way in IntelliJ so that when I
hit the run and/or debug, it will either set certain environment variables
and/or execute some kind of setenv.bat file before executive the exe? The
problem with setting the environment variables in my windows system path

is

that the variables are set per application not per computer.

Thats a good temp fix..... The only problem is that if I am working on 3
different apps in IntelliJ all with the same environment parameters which
have 3 different values...

It is my headache too. I was going to implement plugin but I didn't find open api for this task yet. And I'm still going to create plugin as soon as open api will be appear.

How about setting -Dvariable=XXX parameters on the run dialog?

It makes no sense for me, because my java code starts perl scripts where I use environment variables and I do not want write any code to convert all possible (because list of variables can be expanded) System.getProperties() to native calls (or cmdline executions) for environment setting.
In any case thank you for your advice.

You can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(“perl.sh”);
Optionally you can create an Ant task and run it before every run/debug session, I believe Intellij supports this out of the box

You can pass a set of environment variables to

All you need to do is define your variables in some property file.

Hi, Peter.
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, but I use native code to start external programs from java to have more control with them... I can support environment settings in program starting interface, but it doesn't seem to be a good way. Generally I have several configurations (environment sets in .bat files), which I'd like to debug from AVRORA. And I do not want to restart Avrora for every configuration. The best way I see is plugin to support environment set per run/debug configuration. But...
