The Explorer

The Explorer provides a tree view of packages, files, and other objects and provides a starting point for programming. You can browse files there or monitor running processes and debugging.

Objects are represented as nodes, some of which can be expanded to reveal subnodes representing elements of these objects (such as Java inner classes, constructors, methods, and fields).

The Explorer is a tabbed pane and has four tabs by default:

You can work with objects in the Explorer using commands found on their contextual menus (displayed by right-clicking on the node) as well as on the menus in the main window.

You can access properties for each Explorer node by opening the Properties window and selecting the node. By default, the Properties window opens below the Explorer in the editing workspace.

You can also work with your classes in the Object Browser, which is divided into separate panes for packages, objects, and object members.
