Managing Objects in the IDE

The IDE provides two windows where you can manage objects: the Explorer and the Object Browser. In both windows, you can access files for editing, add and delete objects, and select objects to compile, run, or debug.

The Explorer is a tabbed window, which provides a tree view of objects and their elements. There are separate tabs for filesystems mounted in the IDE, the filesystems in the current project, and Javadoc documentation, as well as a tab for running processes and debugging.

The Object Browser provides a view of objects with separate panes for packages, objects, and object members. You can filter what is displayed in each pane using filters.
