Popup menu for the Navigation pane

The popup menu for the Navigation pane has the following commands.

Any of these commands may appear on the popup menu when you are in the Project Browser mode, the Opened Browser mode, or the Directory Browser mode. Which commands are displayed depends on the AppBrowser mode and what type of file is selected.

Run

Runs your application without debugging it, using parameters specified in the Run/Debug page of the Project Properties dialog box.

An alternate way to perform this command is to click Run on the toolbar.

Files must be compiled before they can run. When you choose Run|Run, JBuilder automatically compiles the file or project before running it.

Use the Project Properties dialog box (File|Project Properties) to change compiler options. When working with partial projects, make sure that the Make Packages Stable option is unchecked.

Debug

Runs your application in the Debugger using any parameters specified in the Run/Debug page of the Project Properties dialog box.

You must compile files before running them. This places symbolic debugging information into the file so the Debugger can operate.

When you select Debug, the AppBrowser switches into Debugger mode. In Debugger mode, you use the Content pane for viewing code and setting breakpoints. The Debugger mode also displays panes for viewing data watches and context information such as call stacks and threads.

Make

Compiles any .java files within the selected node that have outdated or nonexistent .class files. Also compiles any of the node's imported files that the node depends on which have outdated or nonexistent.class files.

Make is faster than Rebuild, once you have done the initial compiling.

Rebuild

Compiles all .java files within the selected node, regardless of whether their .class files are outdated. Also compiles the imported files upon which the node depends, regardless of whether their .class files are outdated.
