A.5 Configuring BlueJ

Many of the settings of BlueJ can be configured to better suit your personal situation. Some
configuration options are available through the Preferences dialog in the BlueJ system, but
many more configuration options are accessible by editing the “BlueJ definitions file.” The lo-
cation of that file is <bluej_home>/lib/bluej.defs , where <bluej_home> is the folder where the
BlueJ system is installed. 1

Configuration details are explained in the “Tips archive” on the BlueJ web site. You can access it at

http://www.bluej.org/help/archive.html

On Mac OS, the bluej.defs file is inside the application bundle. See the “Tips archive” for instructions
how to find it.
