You can open any file within the IDE, even if the file is not in a previously mounted filesystem.
To open a file in the IDE:
If the file is already part of a mounted filesystem in the IDE, the file opens immediately.
If the file is not in a mounted filesystem, you must pick the file's package. If you are trying to open a Java source file, a dialog box appears and suggests the package to use. Accept the selection or select a different package. Once you select a package, the IDE mounts the appropriate filesystem and opens the file.
