Working With Java Source
The IDE contains many tools and properties specifically designed to help you
work with Java files:
- Beans support lets you easily manipulate classes written to the JavaBeansTM
architecture. You can add bean properties and event sets, automatically generate
BeanInfo classes for your beans, create serialized prototypes of beans, and
add beans to the Component Palette for easy when designing GUIs.
- The JavadocTM tool enables you to search HTML pages
for a specific class, interface, constructor, method, or field. If Javadoc
documentation doesn't exist for your project, you can add Javadoc comments
to your source code and generate the documentation from within the IDE.
- The JAR Packager enables you to easily create, modify, and update JAR archives
in the IDE.
- The Import Management tool helps you manage external references in a source
file.
- The source synchronization feature helps synchronize your Java implementation
classes with their interface and abstract superclass methods.
- The Override Methods tool lets you select methods from superclasses and
interfaces. The tool then generates code for these methods with proper declarations
for you to override with your own code in the Source Editor.
- The Java Sources settings enable you to define how the IDE interacts with
Java elements in your project. You can use these settings to set the default
parsing delay, debugger, compiler, and executor for Java classes.
