Opening a File in the IDE

You can use the Go To Class shortcut (Alt-Shift-O) to open Java files without having to search for them in the Explorer. This feature only works for files that are in filesystems mounted in the IDE and that have been added to the parser database. 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, enabling you to select any file on your system. If the file is a .java file that is not in a mounted filesystem in the IDE, a series of dialog boxes are displayed to assist you in mounting the file's directory so that the file can be opened. If the file is not a .java file, its directory will be automatically mounted as a filesystem.
