Scrapbook

The Scrapbook is a window that helps you organize, develop, and test ideas for your Java programs. Each page in the Scrapbook is saved to a file, not to the repository.   The Scrapbook can open text-based files. It supports a variety of formats, including NT, OS/2, UNIX-based, Solaris, and Macintosh. You can run Java code within any of these files, and import it into the workspace.

The information line at the bottom of the window shows the page's compilation context (The class that the Scrapbook will use for running code).
