Opening a File in the IDE

You can use the Go To Class shortcut (Alt-Shift-O) to open Java files without searching for them in the Explorer. For this feature to work:

See Opening a Java File With Go To Class for more information.

Tip If the file is on your machine but you do not see it in the Explorer, the file might not be in a filesystem that is mounted in the IDE. You can open any file on your machine by choosing File and choosing Open File. A file chooser is displayed, which enables you to select any file on your system.

If the file is a .java file that is not in a mounted filesystem, a series of dialog boxes help you mount the file's directory. Then the file is opened.

If the file is not a .java file, its directory is automatically mounted as a filesystem.
