Mounting a Filesystem

To work with filesystems that were created outside of the IDE, you must mount them in the IDE.

Mounted directories must be mounted at the default package, and Java sources in them must be in packages corresponding to their position relative to the mount point. If a filesystem is mounted at the wrong point, the IDE can not compile its sources, and other problems will arise.

To mount a directory in the IDE:

  1. Choose File Mount Filesystem from the main window.
  2. In the Mount Filesystem dialog box, select the default package for the directory and click Add.

To mount a JAR or ZIP archive in the IDE:

  1. Choose File Add JAR from the main window.
  2. In the Add JAR Archive dialog box, select the archive file and click Add.
You can also find the Mount Filesystem and Mount JAR commands on the contextual menu of the root Filesystems node in the Filesystems tab of the Explorer.
