The Explorer provides a tree view of packages, files, and other objects and provides a starting point for programming. You can browse files there or monitor running processes and debugging.
Objects are represented as nodes, some of which can be expanded to reveal subnodes representing elements of these objects (such as Java inner classes, constructors, methods, and fields).
The Explorer is a tabbed pane and has four tabs by default:
![]() |
You can also work with your classes in the Object Browser, which is divided into separate panes for packages, objects, and object members. |
