The Assistant

The Direct to Java Client Assistant is an easy-to-use tool that performs the most common customizations to Direct to Java Client applications. It runs inside the client application so you can see and directly test changes while the application is running.

  1. Open the Assistant

    In any window of your application, choose Tools Assistant, which opens the Assistant window.

    The Tools menu might not list the Assistant command. If the application isn't running in Rapid Turnaround Mode, the Assistant can't be made available: see the section If the Assistant Command Isn't Available. Or the Assistant might be explicitly disabled: see Disabling the Assistant.

The Assistant window has several tabs across the top: Entities, Properties, Widgets, Windows, Miscellaneous, and XML. The tabs allow you to configure the application in different ways. Each is discussed in later sections.
