Chapter 4
The Explorer and Object Browser
Forte for Java provides two different tools for managing files in the IDE:
- The Explorer - which provides a hierarchical view of all files you use with the IDE, including applications you are developing and Javadoc files, and a view of running and debugging processes. In the Explorer, you can also mount directories that are on your local system or network so that they can be accessed from within the IDE.
- The Object Browser - which provides a Java-oriented view of your classes.
From these two windows, you can have code automatically generated for new classes and for specific elements of these classes. In addition, you can "synchronize" sources by having the methods for interfaces generated when you implement the interfaces in your code.
Through the Explorer, you can easily generate JavaBeans components. See Developing and Customizing JavaBeans Components.
