Managing Objects in the IDE

The IDE's Explorer displays and enables you to manage objects. You can access files for editing, add and delete objects, and select objects to compile, run, or debug.

The Explorer is a tabbed window, which provides a tree view of objects and their elements. There are separate tabs for filesystems mounted in the IDE, the filesystems in the current project, and Javadoc documentation, as well as a tab for running processes and debugging.
