Configuring the IDE

You can configure your work environment in a number of ways. You can create, delete, and change menus, toolbars, and workspaces. You can also add an object to the component palette and then use that object in your applets and applications. You can look at files in the Source Editor side-by-side instead of in separate tabbed panes, and you can change the Source Editor's keyboard shortcut assignments.

You can make these changes (and change other aspects of your environment) in the Options window. You open the Options window by choosing Tools Options from the main window.

For help with configuring a specific aspect of the environment, see:
