Opening
a File |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open a file by double-clicking its icon in the
Filesystems tab of the Explorer.
|
|
|
|
If the file isn't in the Filesystems tab, you must mount it as
filesystem to add it to your class path. To mount a filesystem:
|
|
|
|
 |
In the main window, choose File->Mount Filesystem. |
|
|
 |
In the New wizard, select the Local Directory node. Then click Next. |
|
|
 |
Navigate to the directory you want to mount and select that
directory.
|
|
|
|
If you are mounting a Java hierarchy, select the parent directory of your
package structure.
|
|
|
 |
Click Finish
|
|
|
In a Hurry? |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
In the main window, choose File->Open File. The IDE will mount the
filesystem.
When you compile and run Java applications within the IDE, the
mounted directories and archive files make up the Java class path. |
|
|
|
Creating
a File or Object |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
To create a new file in the IDE, you must first
select a template for the type of file you want to create.
|
|
|
|
 |
In the Explorer, right-click the directory that you want to
put the file in, and choose a file type from the New submenu.
|
|
|
 |
Follow the wizard instructions.
|
|
|
Using Projects |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can start working on the IDE without creating a
project. All functions are available from the Filesystems tab in the Explorer. You
can later create projects in the IDE and configure settings individually for each
project. |
