+# JAVA classpath
+# Use the local variable CLASSPATH to add custom entries (e.g. JDBC drivers) to
+# the classpath. Separate multiple paths with ":". Enclose the value
+# in double quotes. Adding additional files or locations on separate
+# lines makes things clearer.
+# Note: If under running under cygwin use "/cygdrive/c/..." for "C:/..."
+# Example:
+#
+#     Set the CLASSPATH to a jar file and a directory.  Note that
+#     "classes dir" is a directory of class files with a space in the name.
+#
+# CLASSPATH="usr/local/Product1/lib/product.jar"
+# CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}:../MyProject/classes dir"
+#
+CLASSPATH="@classpath@"
+
+# JVM parameters
+# If you want to modify the default parameters (e.g. maximum heap size -Xmx)
+# for the Java virtual machine set the local variable JVM_PARAMETERS below
+# Example:
+# JVM_PARAMETERS=-Xms100M -Xmx200M
+#
+# Below are the JVM parameters needed to do remote debugging using Intellij
+# IDEA.  Uncomment and then do: JVM_PARAMETERS="$IDEA_REMOTE_DEBUG_PARAMS"
+# IDEA_REMOTE_DEBUG_PARAMS="-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005"
