Getting Started Using the IDE
   
   Opening a File
 
   Open a file by  double-clicking    its icon in the Filesystems tab of the Explorer.
If the file isn't in the Filesystems tab, you must mount it as filesystem to add it to your class path. To mount a filesystem:
In the main window  , choose File->Mount Filesystem.
In the New wizard  , select the Local Directory node. Then click Next.
Navigate   to the directory you want to mount and select that directory.
If you are mounting a Java hierarchy, select the parent directory of your package structure.
Click Finish
 In a Hurry?
 
In the main window,   choose File->Open File. The IDE will mount the filesystem.

When you compile and run Java applications within the IDE, the mounted directories and archive files make up the Java class path.
   Creating a File or Object
To create a new file in the IDE, you must first   select a template    for the type of file you want to create.
In the Explorer,  right-click    the directory that you want to put the file in, and  choose a file type     from the New submenu.
Follow the wizard instructions.







 Using Projects
You can start working on the IDE without creating a project. All functions are available from the Filesystems tab in the Explorer. You can later create projects in the IDE and configure settings individually for each project.
