Source File Nodes in the Explorer

All Java source files that were not created using the IDE's form templates are represented as source file nodes(Source file node icon) in the Explorer. Each source file node expands to reveal subnodes for each of its classes (Class node icon) and interfaces (Interface node icon).

You can right-click any source file node to access a contextual menu containing the following commands:

Badges

Badge icons can be affixed to source file icons to indicate a particular state of the object.
