The Jalopy options are available through the NetBeans options dialog. In order to display the options dialog, on Mac OS X you use NetBeans → Preferences... and select the “Jalopy” item in the top pane. On other platforms the dialog is available through Tools → Options. Please note that the options dialog is only available since NetBeans 5.0. With earlier versions, Jalopy adds a new menu item to the menu bar to display the Jalopy options.

The main options page lets you manage your Jalopy profiles. A profile stores the actual code convention to define formatting output, as well as user-specific data like file and dialog histories. You can add, remove, activate, map and configure any number of profiles. For a detailed explanation of the available options, please refer to the section called “Main window”.
