While almost every element of the IDE is used to create or work on Java source code, the Java module of the IDE contains some tools and properties to help you work with Java files.
The Override Methods tool lets you select methods from superclasses and interfaces. The tool then generates code for these methods with proper declarations for you to override with your own code in the Source Editor.
The Import Management tool helps you manage external references in a source file.
The source synchronization feature helps synchronize your Java implementation classes with their interface and abstract superclass methods.
The Java Sources properties enable you to define Java-related elements of a project, including the default compiler, debugger, and executor, the parser class path and automatic parsing delay, and whether or not to display the Java Editor toolbar or status information on Java nodes.
